Turning to an old woman who is familiar with Jewish magic, she finds her way to the daughter of a rabbi who creates a Golem, a mystical Jewish creature sworn to protect Hanni’s precious daughter Lea.\n\n\nLea’s journey with the Golem to France is fraught with danger and raw emotion. They travel from Paris, where Lea meets her soulmate, to a convent in western France known for its silver roses, to a mountaintop village where three thousand Jews were saved, to a farm where the bees never forgive.\n\n\nWhat does it mean to lose your mother? What makes a family? How is it possible to survive cruelty and continue to love? In a life that is as unreal as a fairytale, Alice Hoffman’s The World That We Knew takes us on a journey of loss and resistance, good and evil, the fantastical and the mortal, to a place where all roads lead past the angel of death and love is never-ending.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoffman, Alice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41628265971789,"sku":"CONF20250403045","price":99.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/3856\/4685\/files\/9781471185830_20250302_192240.jpg?v=1741099346","url":"https:\/\/readmatter.co.za\/products\/buy-the-world-that-we-knew-alice-hoffman-conf20250403045","provider":"Readmatter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
