Review: An Emotional Narrative
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 2, 2014
Smadar Shir hits you hard and immediately upon opening up The Tenth. I was completely stunned by the character of Danny. As the narrative unfolded I grew empathy and an emotional connection with the character, and it is that sort of influence that makes books like this so promising. The book play out like a tightly wound drama and I found myself lost in the “what if” moments. There are religious tones here, there are political tones, and overall a firm juxtaposition of life, loss, and struggle for identity. This is highly recommended.
