This book takes the reader back in time to 1939 New York City, where protagonist and primary narrator Edgar, a ten-year-old boy, is growing up in the Bronx. It is the story of his Jewish family, and their many challenges. It is occasionally narrated by another family member (to provide an adult perspective). The writing is top rate, and the period is beautifully depicted by an author who lived through it. This book represents historical fiction at its finest.
