They like the same girl, the niece of the Foreign Minister. They must face the growing anti-Jewish feelings of their countrymen. And they must cope with personal problems: Erich is able to read dogs' minds, but also feels their pain. Sol becomes possessed by a dybbuk, a wandering soul that brings terrifying nightmares. <br><br>Sol's Song is an exciting story of friendship and emotional survival in terrible times.
