This tale of a shtetl, or Jewish ghetto, during a rare period of relative peace in late 19th century Poland, is an undiscovered treasure. Lilian Nattel's The River Midnight portrays the religious customs of the day with which some readers may be unfamiliar, but those who continue with the story will be rewarded as they get to know these warm, utterly charming characters.

Think of this story as Fiddler on the Roof in book form.
