This book took me to a time I never experienced and helped me experience it from a point of view I never could have experienced. Spanning the life of a young Jewish boy, son of Polish Jewish immigrants, it starts in the mid-1920s and follows the family through WWII. It is a beautifully written book and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys coming-of-age stories.
