Kith and Kin

a wonderfull and humuorous history of a jewish family at the begining of 20th century that could be yours or mine Alberto Wurmann

Lovely and captivating!

You know that it was a good book because after reading the last page you feel as if you`ve lost a good friend. There`s hardly another book with a plot like a humorous history lesson. The title of the German original (Nächstes Jahr in Jerusalem = "Next year in Jerusalem") tells about the distinct awareness of the Jewish to find their peace in the end. Without that awareness and their unbeatable sense of humour - how would they have survived years and years of pogroms, attacks and ignorance from the side of the Non-Jewish? It is a warm-hearted story with wonderful side-swipes at human stupidity and mediocrity. And it is a must read for all those who love Jewish literature. Enjoy it and have a good laugh! Interested in the topic? Another recommendable reading might be "Her victory" by Alan Sillitoe.
