The Imposter Bride by Nancy Richler
4.0

I thought this was a lovely book. It's a mother/daughter multigenerational story that follows a whole family post world war two. It offered many insights into the culture of Jewish immigrants in Canada post Holocaust as well as family dynamic. It was a very slow book, but I felt that worked to the story's favor and allowed for deeper development of the characters. It was just a heartbreaking story and I'm really glad I picked it up.

It reminded me a lot of The Unseen World by Liz Moore, so I'd really recommend it to anyone who enjoyed that book.
