Leah's Children Kindle Edition

Love coming back to this diverse and interesting family. The children all seem to find purpose and live lives worthy of their parent's struggles. You will enjoy curling up and conning home.

I whipped through this book and it was a big one! Love the way Goldreich writes - have enjoyed many of her books, most recently, The Bridal Chair. I had read Leah's Journey many years ago. This sequel refreshed my memory of Leah and it was great. It almost read like three books in one because each of her children had their own section. The ending was bittersweet for me. Her family were all in a good place, however the last few pages ended very abruptly for me. After all the pages I read I wanted more of an explanation - I wasn't prepared for the ending. I do recommend this book and will read others of hers!

Very nice story, especially if you read Leah's journey.

I read a lot. You are gifted. Loved your book. Will recommend it to all I know. Will read more of your work.

Tthis was one of the best books I have read and I am a prolific reader of novels. It was inspiring, well written, compelling, The writer whose other books I have also devoured, is very talented in telling a good story. Her descriptions are vivid and crisp and her character study is realistic and meaningful. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a poignant story that provides thoughtful understanding of life.

I simply couldn't put Leah's Journey down! So why did I plough thru Leah's Children? The was no "grip" to the story from the start and the rest could have been million's of other peoples' story. Very disappointed.

This book was well worth the read. It is a tough story to tell, but yet full of compassion, and love. Family values abound, and giving back to the community that gave one their roots. A very well written story, that resoundes to all immigrants and the places and people that influenced their lives.

This book captures the tenuous connections that span generations. Across the miles and losses, it is love that renews hope. This is a book that captures the fragility of human connections in a world of threat and beauty. Through connectedness comes salvation and a modicum of peace. This novel is an honest portrayal of the complexities inherent in all relationships.

I enjoyed Leah's Children ,but not as much as Leah's Journey. It did not hold my attention as much as the previous book.Having said that,I was still glad that I had bought it and would recommend it,but you need to read Leah' s Children first to get the whole picture of the family.

What an excellent book , I am not jewish but I enjoyed this family saga so much , can be any woman's story.Very well written , laughed , cried and couldn't put it down, had to read read Leah's children after .more books from Gloria Goodrich pleaseLaila

Having read Leah's Journey which I thoroughly enjoyed, this sequel took me longer to get into. However, as the story continued, I found that I couldn't put it down. A very good read and highly recommended.

this is a good follow up after reading the Leah's Journey first, it is not as good as the first, but quite readable.

Very interesting read loved this book
