BOOK: A time of Angels by Hesse

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Hesse, Karen._A time of angels_,1995
Hannah is a member of a Jewish family living in Boston during
WWI.  Her parents have gone off because of the war and she and
her sisters are living with two aunts.  When the influenza epidemic
strikes and one aunt dies, her two sisters become sick, the other
aunt tells her to leave the city.  Hannah gets sick on the train and
ends up at the home of an lonely German-American in Vermont
who cares for her. Eventually Hannah makes it back to Boston
where her two sisters are living with another family.  Throughout the
story Hannah periodically is helped by a girl with purple eyes which
appears to be an angel.  Reading this 250 page book is a
wonderfully emotional experience.  It is a heady book for students
from 7th grade and up.
