This book has a sequel, and a prequel, published in that order, and I read the prequel then the sequel then this. All the novels stand alone, you can read them in any order. Miller has a deft hand and an ear for dialogue and a knack for phrasing. This book--like How to Find Your Way in the Dark--is laden with (righteous) Jewish fury, at the world, at Europe, at the USA, at time; and there's some grimness at its heart, and a really bittersweet/open/ambiguous ending that might feel heartless but is anything but.
