World War II has been over for many years. But no one has forgotten Lilith's Abode, where the fires raged and the chimneys touched the sky.

Eleven-year-old Ada encounters some of the survivors when she visits her grandfather for the summer. These "lost souls" live in a manoir under the watchful eye of the Keeper of Spinka, who is a friend of her grandfather's.

The keeper is an old man now, but Ada can still see the numbers that were branded on his arm during the war. She can also see his magical powers, which include talking to animals and communicating with spirits.

As the keeper gets to know Ada, he reveals the source of his magic and the prophecy that will utterly transform Ada's life. She is burdened and uncertain whether she can shoulder the enormous responsibility with which she is entrusted. And then she's called upon to embark on an important and dangerous mission-to travel back in time to try to right a wrong. But the journey is perilous. Is she really up to the challenge?

Heartwarming novella about the Holocaust for young adult readers

Reviewed in Canada on 25 August 2016

Verified Purchase

Daniel Kunis tells an intriguing tale of magical realism about a girl named Ada who stays with her grandfather for the summer and visits the keeper, an old friend of her grandfather. A relationship evolves between Ada and the keeper and Ada learns of his magic but also of the wartime atrocities. The keeper reveals the source of his magic to Ada as well as an old prophecy that compels Ada to grow up fast. Ada soon finds herself tested and she proves her great courage and that she is worthy of her new role.

And while the book is short, I certainly found this story captivating, the characters unique and interesting and the writing effective. The language and vocabulary was old fashioned but it was fun to read and suited thee story. Younger readers may struggle with some of the language. As the previous reviewer recommended, this book would make for an interesting read as part of a middle school and high school holocaust studies curriculum.

Well written, great for pre-teen & YA audience, historically relevant for a difficult topic but also an entrancing fiction. Looking forward to hearing more about Ada.

Holocaust Literature

Reviewed in the United States on 22 August 2016

Verified Purchase

Author Daniel Kunin writes a young adult Holocaust story, that takes place post WW2. Supernatural in style, it contains Biblical symbolism as well as elements of fantasy, allegory and fable, typical of the Jewish Literary tradition. The author has taken a very painful theme "The Holocaust" (ie Churban), and has fashioned a story with a unique twist, forcing the reader to philosophize, to question and ultimately to use a good dictionary! This book is an interesting read for upper elementary and high school Holocaust studies programs.
