<p>Rachele Luzzato is 12 years old when she learns her father is seriously ill. While her family are looking forward to her Bat-Mitzvah, Rachele''s teachers happen to cast her as the Madonna in the school''s Christmas play. Pulled in opposing directions, Rachele feels the threads of her life begin to untangle. <br><br>With the fear of losing her father, various forces compete to guide and take care of Rachele: from her charismatic Jewish grandfather, to her Catholic grandparents on her mother''s side; and even an old teacher who believes the young girl might take solace from a nineteenth-century novel. <br><br>These disparate influences ultimately blend in Rachele''s imagination to create a fantasy that transcends the religious and cultural conflicts of her everyday life with one simple hope: to end the loneliness felt by an only daughter. <br><br>With great subtlety and tenderness, A.B. Yehoshua paints a portrait of a young girl at the beginning of her journey into adulthood.</p>
