Description
A lyrical, funny, feel- good read for troubled times
Full of warmth, humor, and the celebration of the extraordinary in the ordinary, The Lev Effect appeals to the faithful of all religions and iconoclasts alike.
When the Bolton Jewish Community converts a disused retirement home to a boarding school, hires a Russian refugee to direct it and the retirees as staff, the small town of Bolton, Pennsylvania celebrates the change. When the director admits a Palestinian boy, schedules Palestine National Day and a fundraiser for a Catholic homeless shelter, the family that endowed the retirement home sues to regain their trust fund. Some think he is a fraud, others believe that he is Jesus Christ. The Lev Effect, is the sequel to the critically-acclaimed novel, Lost and Found.
Advance Praise
In The Lev Effect, Sheldon Greene “wisely explores the salutary power of faith, which protagonist Mendel calls a "kind of spiritual walker for the psychologically disabled” in this profoundly funny meditation on how one can find strength in religion.” Kirkus “This author’s style will sing to your soul. I strongly recommend you read this, absorbing its hauntingly beautiful melody in its message.” Book Review Crew

This book is about a Jewish Community that, fighting against a lot of opposition, decided to complement their retirement home with a boarding school. Not satisfied with that bold move, they hire a Russian to be the headmaster. And it's right then when they start to acknowledge that there's always a lot to learn from others. That little gestures are master keys to help others to give and receive, and that generosity, faith in goodwill and kindness are fair tools to help every human being to be a better version of themselves.
I loved this book! Such a gem! The characters are well developed and the pace is good. And such a lovely epilogue!
I really hope to read more from this author.
Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
