Founded by a man who is determined to cleanse himself and his guests of all \"Jewish traits \" it is a resort of assimilation  with daily activities that include lessons in how to look  talk  act--in short  how to pass--as a gentile. But with Hitler on the march  the possibilities of both assimilation and retreat are quickly fading for the hotels patrons  men and women who are necessarily--and horrifically--blind to their fate. Mordant  shrewd  and elegantly written  The Retreat is a moving story of people forbidden to retreat from themselves  by the writer whom Irving Howe called \"one of the best novelists alive.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67615682232373,"sku":"ByrdShop_0525242376","price":59.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780525242376.jpg?v=1791190011","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-retreat-9780525242376","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
