The story opens with the word NO! An older Jewish man with the name of David Golder is the main character in this well written book by Irene Nemirovshy. (Never heard of her, neither did I until this book and WOW she is wonderful. She died in 1942 at the hands of the Germans at Auschwitz. From what I see from this book we lost a great author.) He is a wealthy business man whose family we come to know and the man whom you will come to feel sorry for. Fast paced, an easy read between heavy duty books. There is a part of all families in this raw depiction of life. You do not want to miss this one.
