Why read it?
1 author picked One of Them as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In this juicy novel that begins on the campus of Vassar in the aftermath of World War II, Anne guards her secret—that she is Jewish—as her charmed-life WASPy classmates denigrate Jewish people at large, and one Jewish classmate in particular, Delia. But Anne is drawn to stylish, sophisticated Delia and befriends her—until Anne betrays and slut-shames her. The suspenseful narrative ripens as the story moves to France and Palestine/Israel. This can’t-put-it-down novel spurred me to think about cruelty and discrimination, forgiveness and growth.
