Two short novellas that share the central protagonist. In "The Shawl" a women is forced to watch as a concentration camp guard murders her daughter. In "Rosa" we meet the same women, now close to madness, 30 years later in a hotel in Miami. And in both stories there is a shawl--a shawl that can sustain a starving child or inadvertently destroy her, or even magically conjure back to life.

Publisher's Note
A devastating vision of the Holocaust and the unfillable emptiness it left in the lives of those who passed through it.

A short story and a novella which, together, tell an exquisitely powerful and moving tale of the Holocaust. Both The Shawl and Rosa won first prize in the O. Henry Prize Stories and were chosen for Best American Short Stories.

Industry Reviews
"This slender but potent volume offers both a tribute to Ozick's high standing in American fiction as well as a second chance to read two numbingly superb works."
Herr

"Brilliant miniature, rich with passion and compassion. They call to be read again and again."
Gannett
