Child of the Light

Child of the Light is a novel by Janet Berliner and George Guthridge published by White Wolf in 1991.

Plot summary

Child of the Light is a novel which takes place in Berlin between World War I and World War II, and involves the love held between three children: the Jewish boy Sol who is tormented by visions of a terrifying future; his egotistical friend Erich who can only speak with dogs; and the Jewish girl Miriam who is in love with both.[1]

Reception

Gideon Kibblewhite reviewed Child of the Light for Arcane magazine, rating it a 4 out of 10 overall.[1] Kibblewhite comments that "It's a wonder that Sol and Miriam love [Erich] at all. But that's the book's major theme, really: love knows no bounds. Its great strength is the way it uses an unusual story to explore a period of history that has already received much literary attention."[1]

Kirkus Reviews states "Beautifully done, with a dour Jewish humor, but the raison d`etre is a bit obscure. Perhaps the second novel, featuring a battle between Jews and Nazis, will clear things up."[2]
