The Lost Family

Author: Jenna Blum
Stars: 4
Review by: Readingteacher

The repercussions both emotionally as well as physically in the life of a young parent's surviving the Holocaust in 1960s New York City brought such anguish to this reader. The main character, through a circuitous route, comes to be a prominent chef at a well respected restaurant. His life takes twists and turns as he marries and raises his daughter first in NYC and then in New Jersey. I found it difficult to affirm all of the main character's life choices, but provided great discussions.
