When first opening the book it might seem like the pages are just filled with word vomit, but the message held within the pages is a beautiful one! I struggled a bit with this book's writing style and the number of times that it jumped around, but I do believe some important things can be gleaned through the chaos.
It follows a young Jewish American who is on a quest to learn more about his now-deceased family, he discovers quite a bit as he travels to the opposite side of the globe and talks with many personality-filled characters.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a different perspective on what it is like to grow up Jewish. It is not a WW2 book! but provides many insights on Jewish tradition and the importance of family.
