Wordwings
In 1941, 12-year-old Rivka Rosenfeld lives in the Warsaw Ghetto with her grandfather and two sisters in a synagogue because housing is scarce. When German soldiers slash her grandfather’s beard, Rivka is compelled to write in between the pages of a library book by Hans Christian Andersen. Dr. Emanuel Ringelblum, founder of the Underground Archive–a compilation of Warsaw Ghetto experiences, asks her to contribute her stories to the archives and Rivka agrees, imagining her words rising up from the ground on wings of their own.
A fully engaging and compellingly entertaining read from beginning to end, Wordwings showcases author Sydelle Pearl’s genuine flair for character and narrative driven storytelling. An original and deftly crafted novel, Wordwings is very highly recommended for community library Contemporary General Fiction collections. It should be noted for personal reading lists that Wordwings is also available in a digital book format.
