Caryl Phillips

The lives of a German-Jewish girl caught up in the Holocaust, her uncle fighting for Israeli statehood, Othello, and others across the centuries are connected by spirit, blood, and situation in a novel about the power of faith, the futility of racism, and history's tragic patterns of repetition. 20,000 first printing.

The Nature of Blood

Hannah K

First of all, this is a novel that I had to read for a class. Aside from being a genre that I would probably never pick up personally, I can see why it is a good one. 
I think it has a good writing style, it was not dragging too much. The non-chronological narration and the change of the narrator was confusing sometimes, but it made it more interesting. 
Again, I can see why it is a good novel, but this was something I had to read and not something I would look forward to reading.
