"A novel with a powerfully unsettling moral conundrum at its heart: is radical evil indelible, can anything undo it? But what philosophy cannot resolve, storytelling triumphantly can. Lavigne’s radiantly imagined portrait of human possibility never obscures the blackest abyss of real history, and his Heshel Rosenheim emerges with all the complexity of a modern Raskolnikov"—Cynthia Ozick, author of The Shawl   

 This week's Reading Group Pick at QPB.com is Michael Lavigne's Not Me. One of our editors, Victoria, absolutely adored this novel, and when I heard its plot, I couldn't help but think that it would be a great follow-up to our recent pick, The Book Thief.
