Delightful

I grew up in a mid-sized, fairly sophisticated Southern town in the 50s and 60s, where there was a fair-sized Jewish community. And every bit as much antisemitism as Suberman's family faced. This is a wonderful window into the lives of the Southern Jews of the early 20th century, but probably not far off the mark for Jewish boomers, either.

Suberman's prose is note-perfect, and the story and people will grab you from the first page and won't let you go even on the last.
