The Invisible Wall: A Love Story That Broke Barriers
by Harry Bernstein
I loved his writing and his clear memory of life on his street. I just finished The Dream and liked it even better as it covered his years in Chicago as a teenager. He spent the rest of his life in New York. What a writer! And apparently he is planning another book.

The Invisible Wall: A Love Story That Broke Barriers by Harry Bernstein
Kathleen's review
rating:
Harry has a hard life... Jewish and poor in England around WWI in a truly dysfunctional family. Little things bring him joy, many things in his life are scary. Each chapter provides a snapshot of the divided street, Jews on one side, Christians on the other. Harry paints a great picture of times gone by with horses, outhouses, and yet people warring against one another. One wonders how things have changed in the last century, when many considered WWI, the war to end all wars.
I could identify with being the youngest and "protected" from information.
