Three stories are told: a young Southerner wants to become a writer; a turbulent love-hate affair between a brilliant Jew and a beautiful Polish woman; and of an awful wound in that woman’s past–one that impels both Sophie and Nathan toward destruction.
Managing to be both shocking and controversial throughout this epic, 'Sophie's Choice' is a massive read. The book for me manages to use fiction and factual places and people to tell it's story. Which is a story that stays with you for a while.
