Review
An exciting story. . . . The novel is a literary rarity: both a readable and a memorable work of art.--The Jewish Standard
Move over Henry Roth. With Leo Haber's poignant, page-turning new novel, The Red Heifer, we may very well have the Call It Sleep of the 21st century. . . . Mr. Haber's storyline is enriched by scenes that echo or recast memorable biblical episodes; the knowing reader marvels at the author's sleight of hand. . . . [The book] is an entire miniature civilization limned with compassion, perception, and wit.--The Forward
