En ö i havet
review 1: Another Batchelder Award winner (award for translation), and an excellent book about culture shock. Two Jewish sisters from Vienna are taken in by families on a remote Swedish island. The sisters hope to be reunited with their parents when they are all granted visas to the USA, a possibility that grows increasingly remote as the novel goes on. It might be a good way of introducing some children to WWII and the Holocaust.
review 2: A moving book about a Jewish girl and her sister that have to leave Vienna for Sweden in 1938. Alone. They don't know the people or the language, and the book beautifully describes the pain of being a stranger in a country you don't know, of missing your home, of being shut out, and the process of getting used to a new situation and ... morestarting to love new people. The book belongs to a series of four books; they're very good, and with each book the themes get more serious and grown up. less
