Shosha is a novel by Isaac Bashevis Singer set in Warsaw during the 1930s, in the years of Hitler's rise to power. The protagonist, Aaron Greidinger, is romantically involved with four women. One day, he rediscovers Shosha, his childhood playmate, an innocent young woman. The novel explores themes of human unpredictability, self-deception, and humor in the midst of tragedy.
