Description Conducive To Books THE BELIEF IN Angels

Growing up in her parents' crazy hippie household on a tiny island off the coast of Boston, Jules's imaginative sense of humor is the weapon she wields as a defense against the chaos of her family's household. Somewhere between routine discipline with horsewhips, gun-waving gambling debt collectors, and LSD-laced breakfast cereal adventures, tragedy strikes a blow from which Jules may never recover.

Jules's story alternates with that of her grandfather, Szaja, an Orthodox Jew who survives the murderous Ukranian pogroms of the 1920s, the Majdanek death camp, and the torpedoing of the Mefkura, a ship carrying refugees to Palestine. Unable to deal with the horrors he endures at the camp, Szaja develops a dissociative disorder and takes on the persona of a dead soldier from a burial ditch, using that man's thoughts to devise a plan to escape to America.

While Szaja's and Jules's sorrows are different on the surface, adversity requires them both to find the will to live despite the suffering in their lives--and both encounter, in their darkest moments, what could be explained as serendipity or divine intervention. For Jules and Szaja, these experiences offer the hope they need to come to the rescue of their own fractured lives.

Judge About Books THE BELIEF IN Angels

Here are two entwined stories about coping with survivor's guilt. Teenage Jules (aka Julianne) and her grandfather Sam (aka Szaja) have come through personal ordeals, she with a brilliant but abusive mother, and he through the persecutions of eastern Europe in WWII. The cruelties visited on him were more overt and violent, but the psychological terror Jules must endure is just as real and emotionally damaging. Yates artfully crafts this book through meticulous detail crafted from the often

This just makes me cringe so much. The poor kids in this had to go through so much crap just to make it through a day, and it was rough the whole way.I definitely connected more with Jules the most. She's a tiny kid, one who is consistently abused and then neglected. She's had a gun pointed at her on numerous occasions by her drunk of a father, and her mother operates under a delusion that she should be as independent as possible. Which is great, except she never buys food, or surfaces out of

3.5 I appreciate this book for the story and the characters, but the unemotional writing style made it hard going.

I received this book from Goodreads.I finished this book yesterday and I'm still reeling. I can't honestly describe what I'm feeling right now. All kinds of emotion about this book is fighting for dominance but none of them can come up on top because this book can't be labeled as one thing. It's multiple things and everything. Its human.That's the word I'm looking for. Human.If I could describe this book in one word, a signaler word that holds infinite amount of meaning, it would be this one.

A literary coming of age novel, The Belief in Angels is a finely crafted story uniquely told through the eyes of Jules as she ages from 6 to 18, and her grandfather Samuel / Sjaza. A middle child and the only girl, Jules has a strong and likable voice that takes us through the narrative of her journey growing up on Cape Cod with abusive and narcissistic parents starting in the late 1960s. Forced into an early adulthood, she is the caretaker of her two brothersand sometimes her parents. We root

3.5 strong starsThis book is marked as New Adult. I just don't see it. This book is actually one of the better books marked as that genre that I've ever read. It's told in alternating viewpoints, Jules story is told with her grandfather's flashbacks. The book is a very slow burn, but it's so worth the time to read it.Jules story, good grief. I don't know how this kid made it. Her dad is abusive and her mom finally wises up and kicks him out of the house. What happens then? Her mom is a flower
