It is Warsaw in the 1930s. Aaron Greidinger is an aspiring young
writer and the son of a rabbi, who struggles to be true to his art
when he is faced with the chance of riches and a passport to
America. But as the Nazis threaten to invade Poland, Aaron
rediscovers Shosha, his childhood sweetheart - still living on
Krochmalna Street, still strangely childlike - who has been waiting
for him all these years. In the face of unimaginable horror, he
chooses to stay... One of Isaac Bashevis Singer's most personal
works, Shosha is an unforgettable novel about conflicted desires,
lost lives and the redemption of one man.
