This book was amazing, not because of the writing, which could have been much better, but because of the incredibly clear picture it painted of life in a shtetl. I have always wondered about what it was like to live as a Jew in eastern Europe, but there was no one left to ask. This book completely dispelled all of my own imaginings.
