\"Guesthouse<\/p>\n

A poignant story of love, loss, and survival\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Set against the backdrop of the European Holocaust, Teitelman\u2019s impressive book displays her penchant for revealing the darker side of the human heart. It is 1923 when seventeen-year-old Esther Gr\u00fcnspan arrives in K\u00f6ln after a heartbreak and sets on to find a refuge against the world. A loveless marriage, three unwanted children, and a life of hardships fail to make her forget her dream of finding a sanctuary. Esther\u2019s heartbreak casts a long shadow over the book\u2019s major theme, in which Esther with her hardened heart is unable to form a bond with anyone. Seeing Esther navigate through the war-torn Europe using her cunning and shrewdness along with her masterful tailoring skills is pure pleasure. Her fortitude and relentless determination make her a worthy protagonist. The book presents both literal and metaphoric embodiments of Hinduism, as the Hindu God Ganesha accompanies Esther throughout her travails. A must read! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
