A Castle in Brooklyn by Shirley Russak WachtelMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book covers decades of time...from 1944 when Jacob and Zalman became friends under circumstances that were frightening and terrifying. Their friendship goes on through escaping Nazi territory to getting to the US and making a life for themselves, never breaking the bond they formed. Zalman helps Jacob build his dream house and even lives with them for awhile.
But when tragedy strikes Jacobs family, things change and are never the same again. A heartwarming story of love and friendship, grief and betrayal. A page turner to the very end.
