This was one of the most well written books I have ever picked up. Perhaps because the author is a journalist, or perhaps because he was foreign born and spent more time on the English language, but in any case, you could just about taste each word as if it was a rare candy treat.

A comedic/tragedy taking place in current times and in the Holocaust. Bergmann creates some of the most unusual characters I have ever read about.

So far, those I have personally recommended this book to have enjoyed reading it.
You decide!
