Editorial Reviews

Review

A lovely book. Truly lovely. A Chagall-like meditation on a joyful and frightening voyage through the 20th century. Without guile or pretension, Rose Choron is a marvelous storyteller. -- Andre Gregory

Rose Choron brings an entirely original voice-graceful, intelligent and witty-to her heart-warming tales of a colorful and talented family in its transition from the shtetel of Eastern Europe to the cosmopolitan excitements of western life. -- Chaim Raphael

Your book is utterly charming. I didn't know what to expect, but I was caught up almost immediately in your story. You have a great gift of narrative. I haven't quite figured out what makes it so effective perhaps it's the poetic form, perhaps it's the deceptive simplicity, perhaps it's the precision of the diction. In any case, it was a wonderful read and a lovely and loving recreation of the past. -- Lucy S. Dawidowicz

5.0 out of 5 stars Family Stories: Travels Beyond the Shtetel, November 27, 2000
By A Customer
An important book treating a serious subject with charm and humor through brief, poetic vignettes. The wanderings of a Jewish family come alive without pathos or sentimentality, taking the reader from their home in Lithuania in the 1920's through Germany and Switzerland, to arrival in the United States in 1939. I have given this book as a Bar/Bat Mitzvah present and been told that the whole family was entranced by it.
