I thought this was a perceptive and satisfying story. It is quietly compelling, told in clear, uncluttered prose, offering insight into a Jewish Canadian family which can never entirely escape its own history. Sidura Ludwig explores the universal conflict between individual needs and family ties with sympathy and compassion.
