Nothing in this book reads true. It doesn’t feel Jewish. It doesn’t feel true to Argentina. The characters don’t seem real.
Eileen writes on Amazon.com: "This story simply did not engage me on any level. The characters were to me caricatures, buffoons… Who in the world is Englander writing for? I know this book has achieved literary status of some sort among the intellectual circles that matter. I am only an ordinary reader and book buyer, but I was dismayed and hugely turned off by this intellectual, I assume highly literary enterprise."
