A wonderful book about the discovery of family secrets, how they came about and how the next generation dealt with the consequences.
A look at pre- and post- WWII from a different perspective...that of a Jewish grandaughter who was raised Catholic, and who in her 30's discovers this secret and forces the powerful history out of her parents. Amazing!!!
