In this fascinating book, Jo-Ann Middleman tells the story of her childhood and of her family, and yet I am certain that every person of her generation who reads this book will identify with it and will think of the parallels to their own childhood and their own family. They were a very special generation, that group of immigrants who left Eastern Europe between 1880 and 1920. They left their old world behind, and went on to new cultures and languages, a whole new way of life. Bound to each other in close-knit, sometimes suffocatingly close, family units, they found the meaning of their lives in "di kinder," who belonged not only to the parents, but almost equally to the entire clan. Jo-Ann Middleman brings her zany relatives back to life with great love, and warmth and humor. She regales us with hilarious stories: about "a family who can turn an ordinary trip to the beach into a gantseh megilla," or how Bubby, and Aunt Sophia conspire to foil the evil eye, or how Bubby, Zady, Aunt Sophia and Uncle Irvin encamp weekly "by Johnson's" ( Howard Johnson's to you and me). And then there are the poignant stories of how they coped with the never-ending crises which are our lives. Two scenes moved me the most. One is when Jo-Ann comes back home to visit her Aunt Sophia. Zady has died, and Sophia is trying to pack. Life is change, and there is no way to hold on to the present-that is what Jo-Ann and all the rest of us have to learn as we grow up. Blessed are those families who have a sensitive and skilled heiress like Jo-Ann Middleman, who is able to inherit the stories, treasure them for years, wrestle with the effects of the bad parts, learn to appreciate the good parts, and who can then weave them into a powerful book like this one, that will postpone oblivion for one more generation, and that will bring both pleasure and instruction to all who read it.
