My Name is Asher Lev, a brief review

Asher is Jewish boy living in Brooklyn, NY with his mother and father. Each of them have impressive talents and are striving towards their promising aspirations. His father practices amazing faith and service, his mother strives to learn and reach the goals set by her brother who died too young, and Asher has an amazing artistic talent, a talent that he's not sure he understands himself. This book deals with sacrifice, selfishness vs. unselfishness, humility and questions concerning what happens when you have to choose between two very important things in your life. Is there a way to make it so you can do/keep/practice both?
