Book Review:
An excellent book which is a thorough entertainer and a down to earth show of the American psyche vis a vis the Indian conservative mind! - Rohit Sharma
Book Review:
“[Among the Living] vividly reveals the complex texture of Savannah’s thriving Jewish community, its diversity as well as its heroism, but also the clash between Reform and Conservative Jews and the lingering prejudice against African Americans. This stirring, powerful novel never sugarcoats its themes or characters; what emerges is a hard-won realism and a compelling look at one corner of the postwar world.” –Booklist
“In this amazing novel full of plot twists, Rabb examines true love, fair treatment to people of all races, how to practice honorable journalism, and what it means to be truly alive.” —Library Journal
“Rabb is an accomplished storyteller with an eye for telling detail and for dialogue.” —Kirkus
“With prose that melds grace with gravitas, full-blooded characters and a story whose joys and sorrows resonate, Rabb creates a novel that asks compelling questions…Each query confronts the reader and requires a thoughtful answer. That rare novel that demands full intellectual and emotional involvement, Among the Living resounds with power and relevance, perception and humanity.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Rabb sublimely navigates Yitzhak's desperate search for something resembling the life he'd once known." —Atlanta Magazine
