A Polish village overlooked by Nazis remains hidden until a troubled local marriage launches them into the twenty-first century in this imaginative debut.Spared by the Holocaust and the Cold War, the tiny Jewish shtetl of Kreskol existed in happy isolation, virtually untouched and unchanged for decades. But when a local couple disappears, the existence of Kreskol soon makes headlines nationwide, and the whole town comes crashing into the twenty-first century. Divided between those embracing change and those clinging to its old-world ways, the people of Kreskol will have to find a way to come together, or risk their village disappearing for good.Winner, National Jewish Book AwardWinner, Jewish Fiction Award from the Association of Jewish Libraries
