This book reads like the best historical fiction, but it's not fiction at all. It's the author's story of growing up in an England divided by the Jewish/Christian "difference" before the Nazis ever showed up. Harry Bernstein could see the difference looking out his own front door...on one side of the street, he lived with his Jewish family and neighbors, on the other side were the Christians, and rarely did they cross that "invisible wall" running down the center of their lane. The details are indeed rich and the story draws the reader in immediately. For me, the most remarkable detail is that the author wrote of his boyhood at the age of 96!!
It isn't your typical Holocaust book and the better for it.
