Ruth Gruber has written an extraordinary and unusual book. She has a unique way of writing, revealing a country and the people present and vanished in clear, powerful, beautiful ways. For example,she describes how you notice the empty spaces on doorposts where the mezuzahs used to be. This small, perceptive insight will be one that stays with me and I know when I visit eastern Europe in the Spring I shall be looking at doorposts.
