As someone who has read the nonfiction work of Torey Hayden with enthusiasm, I was surprised to come accross this gem of a book in a second hand bookshop.
Although not a quick read, each chapter makes you think and review the lives of the characters in the story, and their place within their own family. Through Hayden's descriptive and detailed storytelling, you see how difficult it is for a family to cope with events in their past, such as living through the Holocaust and the horrific effect of past World Wars on parents. You also see how a family learns to pull together after a saddening event.
I enjoyed this harrowing, deeply moving, well-told story of a family learning to live with their past in 1970's USA. It made me reflect on my own position and responsibilities within my own family situation.
