A Blessing On The Moon - Brossura

When I got to our village, everything was gone. A dozen workmen were lifting all the memories into carts and driving off. 'Hey! Hey!' I shouted after them. But they wouldn't stop. In front of every house were piles and vows and promises, all in broken pieces. How I could see such things, I cannot tell you.'

Chaim Skibelski was a successful businessman, husband, and father before he was shot along with the other Jews from his small village. Instead of resting peacefully in the World to Come, Chaim wanders the earth and encounters a world that is at once absurd and oddly familiar. Through it all, Chaim manages to find hope and compassion in the most astounding circumstances, discovering beneath the human propensity for destruction the promise of renewal.

Narrated from an entirely unexpected point of view, A BLESSING ON THE MOON is a daring and original novel inspired by the horrors of the Holocaust. Its startling vision and emotional impact combine fantasy and realism to create a tour de force that is by turns wise, humorous, and deeply moving.
