Reviews:
Morley Torgov's reflection on growing up Jewish in the relatively small centre of Sault Ste. Marie in the 1940s makes from a enjoyable read, doused with the humour and pain of someone looking back and wrestling with identity and destiny. Torgov's relationship with his father is particularly dominant as he finds his way with a dour faced father, which leaves the reader impressed with the impudence of the child and with the tolerance and patience of the father.
