Description
The Sacrifice is a haunting depiction of one family and its often tragic attempts to come to terms with a new life in a new country. It is a moving, almost biblical story of a father possessed by his hope for his only son; of a son who rebels against his father’s ideals, yet sacrifices himself to preserve what his father most prizes; and of a grandson who must reconcile the flaws in his inheritance.

Themes are dark, with obvious Biblical undertones that leads to a surprise ending.

Moving story of Jewish immigrant life in early 20th-century Canada. This narrative of a family struggling to adapt to life in a strange country moves through generations toward its violent and tragic conclusion. The Sacrifice is a mesmerizing novel. Winner of the Governor General's Award in 1956.
