Winner of the National Jewish Book Award for Fiction, and sequel to Potok's award winning book "My Name is Asher Lev," the story about a boy struggling with the tensions between artistic expression and the religious life of ultra-orthodox Jews in post-war. In The Gift of Asher Lev, the Hasidic painter Asher is a middle-aged man living in the south of France with his wife and children. Upon the death of his uncle, Asher returns to Brooklyn, NY to discover that his uncle had secretly been collecting art for many years, amassed a valuable collection, and made Asher the trustee. Asher ties his best to reconcile the Ladover Hasidic community to modern art but faces bitter resentment in some corners. 8vo. 369 pp. A lovely copy.
