Suddenly, Love is a late novel about a late encounter between memory, kindness, and the power of the written word - even when the possibility of language seems lost. This marvelous novel by the great Israeli novelist, Aahron Appelfeld, encourages us to conceive of the power of Jewish learning and tradition even - especially - at this late hour.
