Book Overview
The Sacrifice is a haunting depiction of one family and its often tragic attempts to come to terms with a new life in a new country. It is a moving, almost biblical story of a father possessed by his hope for his only son; of a son who rebels against his father's ideals, yet sacrifices himself to preserve what his father most prizes; and of a grandson who must reconcile the flaws in his inheritance.

Where's Izzy Asper When You Really Need Him?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
"The Sacrifice" was a landmark in Canadian literary history, the first runaway world bestseller. It is a national shame that this title is now out of print. World class writers like Wiseman and Kogawa are all too often ethnicized into oblivion by our culture. If this must be their fate in a still-parochial nation, perhaps those descendents of the old north end of Winnipeg can take a fresh look at Wiseman's powerful work and find a way to make it available to new generations. Wiseman's three great and out-of-print titles, "The Sacrifice", "Old Woman at Play", and "Old Markets, New World" cry out for a benefactor. Izzy, where are you? Works like this can easily sell out a Canadian run of 10,000.

i enjoyed this book because it really makes you appreciate the plight of others less fortunate than ourselves. i have never read adele wisemans' books before but i think i will read further as she demonstrates extraordinary talent in capturing the sacrifice and struggle of the human heart.
