5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling stories of Jewish migration, 27 Jan 2009
The Bride From Odessais a collection of eleven short stories written by Argentinian author, Edgardo Cozarinsky. Spanning over 100 years, and several continents, the stories show an impressive range of cultural knowledge.

The stories are mainly based on Jewish migration around the Second World War, but the oldest one is about Russian Jews, who find refuge in Argentina in 1890, and the most recent, is about an Argentine-American Jew who travels to Lisbon to unravel the threads of his grandparents' wartime affair. It is difficult to go into more detail about what happens without giving things away. Even the back cover of the book ruins one of them - so if you do decide to get your hands on this book - please don't read the back cover first!

Although each story is only about 15 pages long, the characters are vivid, and each one is compelling. Cozarinsky also has a career as a filmmaker, and I think this comes across in the eye for detail he has in the book's construction.

I really enjoyed reading this collection - it has made me realise how little I have read from South American authors, and how poor my knowledge of their history is. The small snippets of information I now have, has left me craving more! I ordered one of Cozarinsky's novels as soon as I finished reading this book, and can't wait to read more, from both him, and other Argentinian authors.

Recommended, especially for the first short story.
