Reviews

Stunning... A meaty saga about a Swiss-Jewish family and their fortunes from 1870 to the Second World War... The Meijers face misery, but the book is full of love and laughter, too
*The Times*

A novel of humour and charm... Reminiscent of the radio adaptation of War and Peace, with the joie de vivre and melancholic tug of Fiddler on the Roof
*Independent*

This epic family saga is finally published in English...a rich and textured portrait of a normal, imperfect family dealing with everyday challenges
*Irish Examiner*

The reader lives, loves and suffers with the characters... Charles Lewinsky has written a real page-turner
*Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Germany)*

An outstanding novel of a quality only seldom met with... This reviewer cannot remember having read such an extensive book in the last few years as swiftly, easily and inquisitively as this one
*Neue Zürcher Zeitung (Switzerland)*
