Jewish persecution among us
The sound of the door was heard while they were having dinner. The stars of the sky said the sabbata was ripe,” thus begins this short novel by Gaizka Arostegi, when Gestapo's "dogs" touch Sara's home door and her parents. As the reader would conclude, this is a novel set in the Second World War, located in January
1944 in Iparralde, in the Santizpiritu neighborhood of Baiona. After taking his parents prisoner, he tells Sara's flight. Chocolat is a historical novel of adventures, also dramatic, but also of friendship and compromise. Sara goes south with the help of Maddi and two boys, boys and girls who are in danger. The
179 page novel is divided into 53 chapters, that is, a work composed of short chapters, which confers agility and agility to the work. The reader will move from one situation, event and action to another as he advances on his pages, and in Sara's distress he will try to find out if he saves himself or is captured. All this with careful and vigorous drafting, numerous interviews and brief descriptions. Therefore, we should not be surprised to find ourselves in
the last pages of the book soon after reading. When we talk about these serious events, we often forget that among us there were also Jews persecuted by the Nazis. In the 16th century his descendants fled Navarre to Baiona and had to walk a way back in the time of Nazism. In this sense, it is a proper, lively, entertaining novel about a hard passage in our history, but also that can show us the worst and best of people. The end of the novel
drives the reader’s imagination; it is an open end, ready to cross the Sara Bidasoa River, “the future was on the other side. Waiting for you.” The reader himself must imagine what the future of
Sara will look like… or the writer will be able to tell it in his second novel. That will be the case!
