"Her fourth novel shows how far she has come since 'The Mind-Body Problem', the autobiographical first novel that made her reputation...'Mazel' is a different kind of generational novel than was popular around the turn of the century. Goldstein is not writing in the realist mode; rather, she is imitating in tone and substance old Yiddish folk tales...Trying to reach beyond the academic settings of her early fiction, Goldstein clearly has been reading about the lost world of the East European shtetl...But she has been too reliant on stock associations...The unchanging structural elements of folk tale were not made to be sustained over the course of a 350-page narrative."
Mark Krupnick, Chicago Tribune, 12/03/1995
Review:"Rebecca Goldstein has written extensively and engagingly about the dark side of life...In 'Mazel', she employs a warmer, more hopeful tone with even greater success...A superb storyteller, Goldstein not only brings the almost-vanished world of Eastern European Jewry to life but also conveys the depth and power of that culture."
Rebecca Radner, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 12/03/1995
