"[E]vocative and thoughtful....There's...a kind of dual consciousness that comes with summoning up memories, and Gross' book beautifully exemplifies this. On one hand, he does his best to re-create the way things seemed to him then, while on the other, he takes care to put his youthful impressions in the context of what he has come to know as an adult. Intelligent, humane, highly civilized, yet utterly unpretentious, the voice we hear not only holds our attention but also wins our affection and respect."Gross, John is the author of 'Double Thread Growing Up English and Jewish in London' with ISBN 9781566634243 and ISBN 1566634245.
