Synopsis
Shosha is a hauntingly lyrical love story set in Jewish Warsaw on the eve of its annihilation. Aaron Greidinger, an aspiring Yiddish writer and the son of a distinguished Hasidic rabbi, struggles to be true to his art when faced with the chance at riches and a passport to America. But as he and the rest of the Writers' Club wait in horror for Nazi Germany to invade Poland, Aaron rediscovers Shosha, his childhood love-still living on Krochmalna Street, still mysteriously childlike herself-who has been waiting for him all these years.

About the Author
Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904-91) was the author of many novels, stories, children's books, and memoirs. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978.
From Library Journal
Set in Warsaw on the eve of the Holocaust, this work follows protagonist Aaron Greidinger's love for his childhood friend, Shosha. LJ's reviewer praised the book not only for the story but for its lesson that even against the greatest opposition "the humanity of individuals cannot be crushed" (LJ 7/78).
