The kind of book you never forget.

My brother gave me a copy of “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” just before I left for my honeymoon in 1959. The marriage didn’t last but the honeymoon was memorable.

A new illustrated book, The Tale of a Niggun, by Elie Wiesel, is a powerful, heartbreaking story. The art by Mark Podwal is gorgeous. I’m giving it as a Hanukkah gift to our local synagogues. It will also be available @booksandbookskw.

My husband read it first and told me it was brilliant and that I’d enjoy it. It was and I did.

My mother bought me the Betsy-Tacy series by Maud Hart Lovelace. She’d read about them in the newspaper... I loved those books. As an adult, I once locked myself in my study for a day, until I’d reread the whole series. They were just as good as I remembered, maybe better.

When I was four I hid a copy of Madeline… so my mother couldn’t return it to the library. If I’d told her I loved that book so much I couldn’t part with it she’d have bought me my own copy. But I didn’t know that then. I thought the copy I hid was the only copy in the… world.

I was in such an emotional state when I finished the book I picked it up and started again. It hit me in all the right places. I laughed, I cried, I cared.
