The Shawl

For anyone who read "The Shawl" already, you may be interested to know that Cythia Ozick wrote a second part to that story, which takes place some thirty years later. The second story is called "Rosa" , and basically talks about the mental-state of a Holocaust victim and how she mourns for her deceased baby daughter. I didn't read it, but I saw a couple of summaries on it. In that story, apparently Rosa isn't a very sympathetic charactor. Her surviving niece, Stella, seems to be more sympathetic.
