Title: A Wonderful Read that makes you think
Product review: Hard to believe the age of the author (in his 90's), and I look forward to another of his books. He has woven the story of his childhood, abject poverty of the family, his neighborhood and pre- and post-WWI times, together with the struggles of Jews vs. Christians mentality of his time, into an inspiring, probing book. It makes you reflect on mankind, what we have done and continue to do in the ways we treat each other. Yet he does not pity himself for his early life, rather it is a mesmerizing memoir into a different time and place, beautifully detailing the characters and their different ways of coping with the prejudices and terrible odds stacked against them. A great read for book clubs--so many themes within its pages.
