Despite the title, this is not a World War II historical fiction book about a Jewish family that is eventually lost to the internment camps. I had thought perhaps the story would flash back more to that time, developing the story as it went. It is rather a contemporary story (1965-1986) about the long term emotional toll of war, dysfunctional marriages, wealthy life, modeling, and eating disorders. You are propelled along the characters' bumpy road of life and may not find a character that you can identify with but it is entertaining although quite dark at times. Perhaps a bit like Tennessee Williams. One should be forewarned that this contains sexual content and adult subject matter, probably not appropriate for young teens.
