#bookspin for March is x 5 short stories… this one was whimsical and strange but I liked it!
I was drawn into this novel almost against my better judgement, because I don't like family sagas normally. But after reading Hadley Freeman's House of Glass I was curious about traditional Jewish family life between the wars in Europe. I learned a lot! But the continuing family dramas and fireworks started to give me bad dreams, so I bailed out.
