This is an amazing book based on the memoirs of Holocaust.
The story revolves around Sage who is a baker with some bad memories. She has a Holocaust survivor grandmother. In a support group she meets an old man who comes up with a weird request for his own murder.
There is sub plot of grandmother writing the story and you couldn't have asked for more. This sub plot blends so well (I must say keeping in different format really works) that the reader moves in and out of plots effortlessly.
The gist of the plot is about forgiveness. Who can forgive and who can be forgiven?
After finishing the book I took some time to think about this question. And one thing that struck me most was from the book only. The grandmother didn't talk to anybody about her survival in those camps. She didn't want to pass the pain to the next generations and she was not even thinking about revenge or forgiveness.
I think there was always a chance when we can forgive or be forgiven.
I'll go with peace. Easier said than done.
