The Chosen

Jessica suggested I read "The Chosen" by Chaim Potok. I reserved and checked it out of the library last week. I hope to start reading it this week.
The Amazon write up is as follows:
In 1940s Brooklyn, New York, an accident throws Reuven Malther and Danny Saunders together. Despite their differences (Reuven is a Modern Orthodox Jew with an intellectual, Zionist father; Danny is the brilliant son and rightful heir to a Hasidic rebbe), the young men form a deep, if unlikely, friendship. Together they negotiate adolescence, family conflicts, the crisis of faith engendered when Holocaust stories begin to emerge in the U.S., loss, love, and the journey to adulthood. The intellectual and spiritual clashes between fathers, between each son and his own father, and between the two young men, provide a unique backdrop for this exploration of fathers, sons, faith, loyalty, and, ultimately, the power of love.
I'm actually excited to read it. I read a book as a child that was about friendship across religious boundaries in the context of the Holocaust that has stayed with me.

Any other book suggestions along these lines are greatly appreciated!
