The View Across the Rooftops. The most moving book I have read in years. Written beautifully, absolutely wonderful!

A View Across the Rooftops. The characters in this novel became real to me as I read this story. Their life lessons are ones that we can learn from and incorporate into our own lives. I didn’t want to put the book down until I finished reading it. The storyline, the characters and the setting kept me tuned in until the end.

A View Across the Rooftops. So much happening in this book but then it’s about the catastrophe of WWll. All the innocents, all the hatred but there was true love also.

View across the rooftops. This is such a touchingly beautiful story about the extraordinary decisions ordinary people make during war. It also shows the impact the Holocaust had on non-Jewish people and how they cared for their friends and neighbors

A. Jew across the rooftops. Well developed story with excellent writing and the ability to express the horror, cruelty, inhumanity, and uselessness of war, at the same time telling a historical perspective along with all the things we do to turn off love, compassion, connection.. Well done!

Captivating, inspiring, poignant, tragic and heartwarming, all bundled in one. Haunted by the tragic death of his wife more than two decades ago, Mathematics professor Josef Held lives a quiet life of seclusion and solitude. After the fall of Amsterdam to the Third Reich, Josef’s former student Michael Blum appears at his doorstep seeking refuge from the relentless Gestapo. Faced with a split-second decision, Josef hides Michael in his home and begins to care for him, continuing to do so throughout the years as the war intensifies. What begins as this act of kindness evolves into a beautiful story of friendship and sacrifice as they each journey on to the path to redemption, forgiveness and freedom. Set in Nazi-occupied Holland, A View Across the Rooftops is a heart-wrenching tale of courage and heroism in the face of oppression, of love and loss, of heartache, and betrayal, but most of all, of resilience and an unwavering hope for freedom. The book explores the lives of several key characters apart from Josef - Hannah Pender, the school secretary turned Resistance-fighter, Ingrid Held, Josef’s niece who falls in love with a Nazi Major, Michael Blum, a Jewish poet with astronomical courage, and of Elke, the love of Michael’s life who possesses assailable conviction towards reuniting with him. The book is captivating, inspiring, poignant, tragic and heartwarming.

Excellent historical fiction. This book touched me deeply. In this day and age when Americans seem to have forgotten all that was sacrificed for freedom, this is an excellent reminder that many brave citizens and soldiers dug deep within their souls to help others and keep freedom alive.

Excellent. If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. From the first moment I started reading the story, I could not stop. I was captured by the story and the characters. Descriptions made me feel like I was right there and surrounded by events and people. The dust, smells, pain and emotions were felt as I turned each page. This is a story of intense dedication of people who cared deeply for others Amidst turmoil, death and fear of the unknown, friendship and love win out. Author Suzanne Kelman has written another great story. I received a coplimentary copy of the book. No review was required.
