~We finished
Milkweed today! Misha survives and moves to America where the trauma of the Holocaust is too much and he is a homeless ranting man on the streets of Philadelphia until two women who understand what he is ranting about tell him it is OK, and that they understand. He gets married for a short time, but his odd and unpredictable behavior are too much for his wife Vivian. Twenty five years later, the daughter he never knew he had shows up to bring him home. He was Stopthief, He was Gypsy, he was Jew, he was Filthy Son of Abraham, he was Jack, but in the end it is a small granddaughter who gives him the only name he will ever need, Poppynoodle! Thanks Mr. Spinelli for an awesome novel!~ In the words of Enric, "I have never read a book like that, I loved it."
