Translated by Marion Wiesel A profoundly and unexpectedly intimate, deeply affecting summing up of his life so far, from one of the most cherished moral voices of our time.

His family before and during the unspeakable Event. The gifts of marriage and children and grandchildren that followed.

Review:
"A successful husband, father, grandfather, teacher, and writer, [Mr. Wiesel] is an asset to humankind. He has turned despondency into a message of approval and optimism...Mr. Wiesel packages equal parts beauty and astonishing description in an impossibly concise manner. Few authors have possessed such capacity for succinctness and brevity with magnificent dexterity."
-NY Journal of Books "An absorbing, clear-eyed reflection on [Wiesel's] own mortality and a candid account of a life lived...Open Heart is Wiesel at his most vulnerable and his most determined, and his thoughts and ideas have never been so lucidly conveyed."
-The Rumpus "The reader...becomes a quiet observer of Wiesel's thoughts, which are plagued by the question: 'Am I ready to die?' His answer, clearly, is no...What seems like a quick and easy read actually delves deeply into the philosophical and makes you wonder: Will I be ready when it's my time?"
