A beatiful book about childhood and tradition

I thought this was an extraordinary and fascinating book - very gentle, sad and insightful about the life of a child in an unhappy family, in particular a young girl in a traditional orthodox Jewish family - I'm astonished and rather depressed that it's already out of print - perhaps its message is too hard for the popular imagination. A beautiful book.
