The Veil by Wanda Luthman – Review by Lorrene Huisman

The Veil by Wanda Luthman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A story that speaks to you no matter what walk of life or path you are on. I enjoyed the author’s writing and the way the words and the story flowed. Beautiful and mesmerizing in its own way. Beautiful writing.

I am not Jewish, but many people dear to my heart are, so reading this what it is like for a boy to step into manhood is eye opening. The boy the story surrounds, who is going to man hood, learns of the things he must to become a man The ripping of the veil, was not something I had much knowledge on, but the story intrigued me, and made me want to understand more. I felt for Samuel, the boy the story is about, he became an understudy, and there, he would never return home, because of the path he is on now. I find that heart breaking, but yet even though he was chosen for it, perhaps it is a path he will grow to choose?
I really enjoyed this author and the story they created. Visually, my eyes as well as my heart are open more, and I want to know more. I will be doing my own research for sure in relation to events of this book, as I want to understand more now that I got a taste. SO glad I got to read this book, definitely an eye opener.

I did not know much about traditions and such of being Jewish, but reading this book really helped me embrace what I did not know. A must read for sure! Highly recommend this author. and their book!
