Pam H. (PamelaH) - reviewed on 11/29/2014 + 90 more book reviews

I wasn't sure how to take this book at first, then began to go with the flow and started to enjoy it. Incredibly sad, terribly funny. It boils down to being a story of the want to be free of our history that haunts us. How it gets there is another story. One that includes Anne Frank living as an old woman in the attic of Solomon Kugel, a Jew that wants to kick her out one day, and care for her the next. Kugel's private thoughts on the last words of the dying (of any creature, not just man) had me in stitches. I was hearing myself in those words.
