Have just finished reading Badenheim 1939 by Aharon Appelfeld. I bought the novel at Jewish Book Week. Previously I have read The Healer and To The Land Of Reeds.
Badenheim 1939 is about humanity's capacity for self-delusion. Of always hoping for the best when the evidence all around suggests otherwise. A panglossian outlook.
Beautifully translated.
