Summary: A tough, true fictional account of a child's holocaust
Review: There have been a number of accounts of the Holocaust which claim to be documentary but in fact depend on literary invention. On the other hand, Charney labels her story of a pre-school- age girl hiding for years in the loft of a Polish barn a fiction - because as she explained in a much-discussed letter to The New Yorker she could not vouch for the factual authority of her story since she was so young when she lived it. Though it is fiction in category, it has the grave sculpture of fact in its midst. The great literary integrity of the work lies its deep unsensational account of one of history's most astonishingly sensational tragedies. The book has been richly rewarded with respect in Europe where the reality of the fictional Dobryd is known in thoughtful peoples' bones.This is a classic work.
