5.0 out of 5 stars*****The Courage and the Spirit to Survive

March 13, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A Different Kind of Angel by Paulette Mahurin is the incredible story of Klara Gelfman, a Russian Jew fleeing to America after her family life is destroyed in 1881 by soldiers massacring Jews. Klara flees to America with her father for safety. Her father dies on the way over. Alone and speaking no English, she gets mugged and everything she had was stolen. From here, her story takes a drastic turn for the worse. Well written and well researched, at times this story is very hard to read. It speaks to the courage and spirit of an individual to survive horrific conditions.

I have always loved Mahurin’s books and this one did not disappoint. While based on a true story, it is heartbreakingly told. Klara confined to a mental institute on an island in New York simply for not speaking English. The story splits between Klara’s early life and into the future towards her final escape. I loved the way it was told and found it to be beautifully written. A chilling story of prejudice and the lengths some people will go to to get what they want. An amazing book and one I highly recommend!

I saw this on one of my reading friends book lists and I thought I would give it a try, it was a good little novel about a life filled with personal trauma, and soul-crushing debasement and tortures, but Klara Gelfman survives she meets others who help her and as she says in the book; “Beneath the differences you meet another’s heart, that’s where the light of love never dims the light where the power of healing and forgiveness lives. They were all unique. All different kinds of angels.” This is a good book club recommendation or a good book for anyone wanting to know about what strength it takes to survive during bad times.

5.0 out of 5 stars*****A story that needs to be told and remembered

March 12, 2019

Format: Kindle Edition

I bought this book a few weeks ago. I picked it up yesterday to read on work break and I couldn’t put it down. I read the book last night. It is a hard story to get through but so real. The Germans did terrible things and the fact that it happened within the last 100 years, is frightening. There are many books written about the Holocaust—but this is one of the best ones I have ever read. Most touch on the horror but Helen’s story delves deep into the evil that people do out of hatred and fear. It was hard reading the rape scenes—but things like that happened all too frequently.

It’s a compelling book and I finished it in two days. Some of the non-historic scenes are usually not included in books on this subject. Each person has to decide if they should be there.

Sara and Ben’s story is a dramatic love story!!
The dynamic, power and dramatic impact in Mahurins tale, is based on the fact that both of them have no time left to lose!!
They are caught within a very narrow and limited time frame..Ben is a young lawyer having only months lo live due to a terminal cancer raging havoc in his body, and Sara is a survivor from breast cancer still struggling with it..”Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage”
Lao_TzuPaulette Mahurin has delivered a powerful story and captured the eternal spirit of an all-surpassing love!!
Even death is no match, and must surrender like an helpless hostage to the the eternal and regenerating power of love..At the end of the day I can say that reading Sara and Bens story has uplifted and inspired me!!!Although you will be confronted with sufferings and pain, let me say it clearly that this is not the main message carried out in this bitter- sweet love story!!Mahurins novel, gives and delivers powerful to the reader the preciousness of life itself..
And in spite of sufferings, pain and even death, the prevailing force behind the universum is love inhibited in eternal souls..

An innocent Jewish military officer, Alfred Dreyfus, was unjustly sentenced to life imprisonment on a desolate island. The news that could exonerate him was leaked to the press, but was suppressed by the military. Anyone who sought to reopen the Dreyfus court-martial became victimized and persecuted and was considered an enemy of the state.

Emile Zola, a popular journalist determined to bring the truth to light, undertook the challenge to publicly expose the facts surrounding the military cover-up. This is the story of Zola’s battle to help Alfred Dreyfus reclaim his freedom and clear his name. Up against anti-Semitism, military resistance, and opposition from the Church in France, Zola committed his life to fighting for justice. But was it worth all the costs to him, to those around him, and to France?

5.0 out of 5 stars*****A Different Kind of Angel: A Novel

February 8, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A harrowing and riveting portrayal of Jewish refugee from the Russian pogroms of 1881. Klara Gelfman’s loses her father during her voyage to New York. Alone and with little English she is mugged and accused of being a prostitute she lands in Blackwell Island Lunatic Asylum. In the asylum for five long years she exposed to the worse and the best of the human condition.

It is a heart-wrenching to read about the horrid, inhumane and violent treatment of the patients in Blackwell. However, it is also a testimony of the strength of the human spirit to rise, survive and find strength in one another.

Paulette Mahurin did an amazing job in capturing the history Blackwell Island. The story is richly researched, well-written, emotive, inspirational, and unforgettable. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars*****A very powerful story.

February 6, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

It is not difficult to be horrified by the level of cruelty that humans will inflict on one another, especially where prejudice and power are involved. There is much in this book that tells of the trauma, the emotional and physical scarring, and the horrors experienced by the victims of such torture experienced not only by those who survived the government pogroms against the Jews in late 19th century Russia, but also by those exposed to the depths of degradation meted out to those who found themselves inside the cruel, cold walls of the notorious Blackwell’s Island Insane Asylum in New York.

Based on the true story of Nellie Bly’s infiltration of the asylum and subsequent exposure of the abuses and brutality that occurred there, and on the experiences of many who fled Russia in the hope of making a new life in America, ‘A Different Kind of Angel’ tells the stories of Klara Gelfman and the other women she meets inside that institution.

The book certainly has its dark moments, but it also gives emphasis to the resilience and kindness of people like Klara and her friends Catherine and Nellie. These women are inspirational in their ability to rise above the pain and muck time and time again, reminders to us all of the power of encouragement and kindness in the face of hostility and fear.

Mahurin tells a compelling story. The characters are strongly drawn, and the depictions of the various behaviours of the inmates of the asylum are vivid and, one suspects, based on careful study and research. At no time is the narrative insensitive to the plight of the insane, nor to the individual qualitiies of each woman and her mental illness. The reader has a strong sense of how their lives and conditions could be vastly different given proper care, nutrition and some kindness, and feels deeply grateful to the few souls who showed these women as much compassion as they were able to.

Overall, the story is more encouraging than depressing, and most enlightening. Despite the darkness, the message of the story is positive and empowering, especially for those enduring some kind of misery or darkness in their own lives.

I read this book, attached to the historical aspect around the upheaval in Russia and the persecution of Jews in the years around 1887. I can only add to all the other reviews that this is a brilliantly, beautifully written story that is both tough and ugly to wrap your head around, but also a heartwarming ‘testimony’ to the resilience of anyone victimised Love can work wonders even under the saddest, most horrific circumstances!

The suffering that 20 year old Klara Gelfman endured at the hands of those who believed they were superior, is a reminder that no man is better than his neighbour. But where there is hardship and evil, there is always compassion and light – and this book expresses both. Very hard to read in places, heart wrenching and emotional, but it is extremely well written and well researched. I shall be reading more from this author.

Although the ending is sad, the story has an optimistic tone. Sarah has gone through a lot at a young age, but she sees the bright side of life. Despite of her own condition, she reaches out to love and to help another person like her. It is painful to read through the details of Sarah and Ben feeling ill and getting treatments, but the sadness can be offset by their love and Sarah’s cheerfulness. Other than the cancer, the two also have to deal with family issues, just like everyone else. A story makes you smile and cry.

His Name Was Ben is the story of two cancer patients, Sara and Ben, who are both enrolled in a last ditch, experimental study that could save their lives. When they fall in love, they find the kind of salvation that is irrespective of mere life or death. Sarah and Ben also share a dis-functional family life, lovers who disappointed and betrayed them, and a history of abusive relationships that makes it hard for each of them to open up and trust. I thoroughly enjoyed this unconventional but touching love story. To say that it has a happily ever after ending is a gross understatement. You will have to read it to understand what I mean. I highly recommend Mahurin’s book – it will fill you with hope, and make you believe in true love once again. It might even heal you as it did them.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing:
the last of human freedoms-to choose one’s attitude in any
given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
Victor E. FranklThe story of Helen Stein, a young beautiful teenager and his family, has left me drained and flabbergasted..
A jewish family that went through the fiery ordeal of the holocaust in nazi Germany!!
All her family murdered by the nazis..Helen and his brother must hide..
The SS brutaly murdered his parents and an elder brother by the evacuation of his house!!
And for a few years they find a hideout in an uninhabited farmhouse!!
But soon they will be discovered and then sent in cattle waggons by train to Auschwitz the death camp with his gas chamber!!

Her spirit unbroken..
She demonstrate the power of resilience and perserverance in this hell!!!
After being raped and humiliated again and again, she remembers what her father told her:
To be and stay alive it’s whats matter..

Even in Auschwitz facing the ugly grimace of evil, she finds comfort and friendship in Ester and others..
Sacrificing themselves they give her love and dignity!!!

Many years latter, she has survived and found a new beginning in the Staaten..
The tatoos with numbers on her arm are not the only scars she has to bear!!
With much tears she tells a young woman about the destiny of her family in Germany!!
She lived to tell her story..

Paulette Mahurin has written a powerful book, showing us the atrocities commited by the nazis, and the devastating meaning of the Holocaust for the jewish community in Europa!!

..”There was nothing that told me about Helen or her past, with one exception, but I had no idea what it meant.
It was a faded piece of material in a glass-covered frame that sat on the end table. The tattered swatch of dimly colored blue cotton had a floral print.
Little swirls of lighter shades outlined the design of the stained material.
My eyes went to a plaque attached to the bottom of the frame that read, “Nothing Lasts”.
I couldn’t help wondering,
What is this old fabric?
And what caused the rust-colored stains splattered on it that looks like blood?”..
Read the book, and you will know!!!

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

In A Different Kind of Angel, the horrific crimes committed against Russian Jews during the Kiev pogrom become very personal as seen through the eyes of Klara, a young woman whose happy family life was shattered one day in 1881. When she escapes to the USA, all seems well until the American dream fails her in an epic way and she is unfairly committed to the Women’s Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island. Her life becomes a new kind of nightmare, full of atrocities that were thankfully punctuated with connections and kindnesses from friend Catherine and the occasional nurse or fellow patient, as well as her own resilient spirit. This book is a testament to survival and dreams that somehow find a way to come true even in the face of untold suffering. Inspiring, eye-opening, well-written – a definite must-read you won’t be able to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars***** America. . .the land of the free. . .but not for me…

BySybrina Duranton January 2, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

That’s what Klara Gelfman, a recent immigrant from Kiev, Russia quickly learned just weeks after arriving in New York City in 1882. She had barely survived the brutal massacre of her entire family in 1881 after the assassination of Czar Alexander II. After that horrific pogrom, she escaped to America. . .the land of the free. . .which promised safety from the tyrannical oppression of the Southern-Russian Worker’s Union. Before she even got the chance to start her new life, she found herself cast into the living hell of the Women’s Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island with no hope of ever escaping that nightmare. Her crime – the inability to communicate in the English language. After years in that inhumane place, Klara felt that “Life had become a chain with links made of misery”.

I shed a lot of tears throughout Klara’s story. Author, Paulette Mahurin, wove this tale as if she had experienced each physical and mental torture herself. Reading about the madness perpetrated by the lunatic nurses and guards upon all of the helpless inmates in that hospital for the insane had me helplessly raging against the unfairness of it all. Even those inmates who were sane when they arrived (and there were far too many) had little hope of retaining any normal state of mind after so much exposure to such unthinkable conditions as were forced upon them there. As Klara put it: “Too little nourishment. Cold rooms and cold, filthy bathwater. Lumpy, stained, withered mattresses and paper-thin, dirty blankets, hours of sitting on hard benches in silence. Physical and emotional wounds inflicted at the whim of the nurses and guards.” Klara and all the other unfortunate souls trapped in that wicked place endured that and much, much worse.

This book is a stark reminder that since time immemorial – places and inhabitants of this world have always been fraught with misery and cruelty. But it also shines a light on the idea that even in the vilest conditions, friendships can blossom and the human spirit can find a way to survive. As Klara saw it: “. . .those women met some of my most basic longings: to belong, to feel safe, to trust, and to be understood. It seemed so contradictory that I had moments of feeling safe when surrounded by so much brutality. But I did. These simple connections ignited the resilience my soul had all but lost. And I was better for it.”

Mahurin’s story reminds us that the goodness of just one person can bring a spark of light into a hopeless life and that one must never lose hope for some kind of happy ending. I highly recommend that you read A Different Kind Of Angel.

5.0 out of 5 stars*****Fascinating tale based on true events

31 January 2019

Format: Kindle Edition

A Different Kind of Angel is a dark story very well written. Oddly written out of chronological sequence, which makes the story more suspenseful as a result. Not only a suspenseful story, the characters are real and believable, and I hoped against hope that there would come the end to their ordeal. The eclectic cast of characters, the key characters around which the story is focussed, and those who are probably insane but still have humanity, are what makes A Different Kind of Angel notably powerful.

really liked it ****

 

Gripping novel exposing the patients received in late 19th century hospitals for the mentally ill, not to mention those hospitalized who were NOT mentally ill but victims of abusive policing and unable to speak English, as the protagonist is. She meets other patients who are merely inconvenient for powerful men and warehoused to keep them away from public notice. In 1887 Nellie Bly went undercover as a reporter in the hospital that’s the setting. She’s a character in the book, but mostly it’s about Klara who survived a pogrom in Russia only to be hospitalized and held in wretched conditions as an immigrant in the U.S.

5.0 out of 5 stars*****Dramatic and sorrowful, it’s a novel of life, survival, and resilience

January 12, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The author, Paulette Mahurin, takes the reader on a tragic but life-celebrating ride. Emotionally charged, it presents a gut-wrenching fate of two generations of German Jews – Helen’s once happy family. With Hitler coming to power, her life inevitably changes to the horror of losing her loved ones, then hiding from being sent to a concentration camp and then, not able to escape the inevitable, to the atrocities of Auschwitz where she is brutally forced to make dehumanizing choices.
The sequence of events that shaped Germany into the despotic state and corrupted its population is expertly and unobtrusively woven into the well-paced narrative. I would consider this book educational for a reader who is not deeply familiar with the Holocaust. Highly recommended for the general readership.

January 7, 2019

As with all of the author’s books, this one digs into human emotions that help a person survive tragedies. And what greater tragedy has occurred in modern times than the ill treatment of those imprisoned in the Nazi concentration camps? The prisoners are seen are real and vulnerable, doing what they had to do to shut out the horrors of the war. Some cannot cope, but others like Helen can hide them inside so they don’t make her become a monster like those who imprisoned her. The emotions are raw and beautiful at the same time. A well written and touching story.

4.0 out of 5 stars****To thine own self be true

2 January 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Mildred Dunlap, tall, physically unattractive, mannish and past the first flush of youth is unsurprisingly (in the opinion of the local community) ‘on the shelf’. Her cousin Edra is much younger and very attractive, but since a terrible trauma as a child, has been to all intents and purposes, a recluse, and no one expects either of them to marry. Mildred and Edra have to find ways of keeping their love for each other secret as the small town in Nevada descends into a furore over the news of Oscar Wilde’s arrest for ‘gross indecency’ with another man. And Mildred hatches a plan to distract attention away from them, only to have it spectacularly misfire.
A gentle, emotionally detailed book, a bit heavy on the explicit spelling out of the message for my taste, but overall satisfying. I felt a bit irritable with all the hysterical behaviour by some of the women, but I guess in the days before the pill, modern anti-depressants, psychology/psychiatry, feminism and the #MeToo movement, women would have been particularly at the mercy of their hormones, PMT, mental health issues, and PTSD after assaults.
Worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars*****Out of Sight, Out of Mind

ByChristina Hamlett on December 20, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

In the early 19th century, New York City was running amok with immigrants, indigents, lunatics and mistresses of wealthy men who had no shortage of skeletons in their closets. To accommodate the growing need to put society’s “blemishes” out of sight, scores of defenseless individuals were packed off to a life sentence at Blackwell’s Island Asylum where they were not only starved and routinely tortured but also guarded by sadistic criminals who regarded them as easy prey. It’s a certainty that if one wasn’t crazy when she went in, the oppressive conditions and cruelty she endured would make her so with the passage of years.
The arrival of yet another hapless young woman in 1887 was registered by the asylum staff as nothing more than fresh blood to humiliate and victimize. Little did any of them suspect that the new arrival who asked a tumble of questions and seemed to take delight in sassing her keepers was an intrepid female journalist named Nellie Bly. Taking the ultimate risk of feigning craziness, it was Nellie’s quest—a quest which proved successful—to witness first-hand a litany of abuses wrought by a corrupt system.
Mahurin’s compelling novel reflects extensive research and meticulous attention to detail. Although it is not without graphic depictions of what was going on behind the asylum walls, it’s a must-read story of a real-life heroine who was able to turn the tables on an administration that was all too willing to turn its back on those without a voice.

Recommend to fans of historical fiction.
What I love about Mahurin’s books is how she takes a real incident and forges a fictional story that enhances the truth. Her books are well-researched and I always feel I’ve learned something new alongside enjoying the read.
This book was inspired by an undercover operation carried out by a female journalist, Nellie Bly into the terrible conditions in a women’s mental asylum on Blackwell Island, New York. But the story is about the women held in the asylum, especially Klara a young Jewish girl who had fled Russia after the Kiev Pogrom. Instead of finding understanding she is the victim of a robbery and sent to the asylum as without knowing English she was unable to defend herself.
The story isn’t for the faint-hearted. The inmates, sane and insane suffered barbaric cruelty. However, the women found friendship and hope amongst themselves and from a few kindly nurses.
Satisfying, interesting read.

Heather Osborne‘s review

Dec 29, 2018

it was amazing *****

 

Reviewed on behalf of Readers’ Favorite

A Different Kind of Angel by Paulette Mahurin commences with the introduction of the reader to Klara, an immigrant who has fled Russia from the pogroms of the late 1880s. She arrives in New York, alone, having lost her father, her last living relative, on the long journey to America. The victim of an attack, and unable to speak English to explain what has happened, Klara is unjustly accused of being insane and sentenced to an indefinite term on Blackwell’s Asylum. There, she struggles to overcome the injustices foisted upon her, until one day, a new woman arrives who proves to be more than just another cog in Klara’s woeful story.

There was something entirely captivating about Paulette Mahurin’s novel, A Different Kind of Angel. It was interesting to see the expose of Nellie Bly told through the eyes of a fictional inmate at the asylum. It was an all too common practice to lock women up who did not fit into the mold of the time, dating back further than the setting of Mahurin’s novel. It has prompted me to want to read more about Nellie Bly and how she broke down barriers, bringing light to the inhumane treatment of the women incarcerated on Blackwell’s Island. Mahurin touches on how misunderstanding often leads to fear, in the case of Klara. Because they perceived her to be drunk, they made automatic judgments about her. I would certainly recommend this novel to anyone with an interest in the history of how barriers were broken down in the treatment of those with mental illnesses.

This was a tough read, but well worth it. This was the first book I had read by this author and will definitely be picking up more books by her. The journey of Sara and Ben is a tough one, but radiates of finding love and how much it can change your life if you open yourself up. I knew the ending but kept hoping that it would be different as I wanted to see so much of Sara and Ben’s life. This is definitely a book I would recommend to others.
