I started this book a while ago, but only now I'm really getting in to it.
It's about a young man - named Jonathan Safran Foer (just like the author)- sets out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis.
With only a yellowing photograph in hand and accompanied by an old man haunted by memories of the war, an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Junior, Junior, and the unforgettable Alex, a young Ukrainian translator who speaks in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is led on a quixotic journey over a devastated landscape and into an unexpected past.
They have even made a movie with Elijah Wood, but first I want to read the book, really good. The guy, Alex, speaks such a bad English it's lots of fun!
