Yvonne M. S. (woodworm) reviewed on 1/9/2009 + 92 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

Beautifully written. Not a typical Jews in peril memoir. Lagnado tells of an influential prosperous family, and not necessarily an happy one, must leave their comforts in Cairo and relocate. After months of indecision and lack of familial support the decision to come to the United States is made and forever changes their lives. Not an easy move for a family set in their ways and religious faith, yet they survive. Some stagnate, like the father, where others flourish.
