Summary
Summary
Acclaimed by readers and critics alike, this spellbinding novel was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, a Borders Original Voices Award Winner, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers finalist, and a Library Journal Best Book of the Year. Myla Goldberg’s moving tale has also received starred reviews in such notable publications as Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Time and Entertainment Weekly.
Nine-year-old Eliza Naumann is considered an unspectacular child—until she surprises everyone by winning her school spelling bee. But just as Eliza begins to shine, her family starts falling apart. Her deeply spiritual father focuses all his attention on Eliza, encouraging her to seek the mysticism that has eluded him. Her brother abandons his Jewish faith and fills the void with Hare Krishna. And her mother searches for meaning in her own life by turning to kleptomania.
