Künstlers in ParadiseKünstlers in Paradise by Cathleen Schine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It might be too soon. The pandemic is still a raw sore for many of us and me included. This is a book that takes place during the pandemic.
It is a story about identity and how it is passed on to children, even grown children. The writing is beautiful and it is a wonderful read but for me it brought up memories of the quiet streets, wiping groceries and feeling isolated.
Not being able to get that image, the pandemic, out of my mind made this a somewhat depressing book for me, maybe not for everyone. After all, the Kunstlers did go from hell to paradise and flourished there.
The history is beautiful and the stories in the story are heartwarming.
Read it. It may be worth the aggravating memories.
