Unlike the French, apparently, I found this book awfully flat. There is the constant foreshadowing of a grand, astonishing secret which never unravels, really. However, if you are looking to read a personal story of how the Holocaust effected one family and a kind of psychoanalysis (Grimbert is a psychoanalyst) of the tolls such an experience has on a person and how it affects the choices of the rest of their life then, it's a quick read.
I am currently making the transition from freelancer to office job and it was a painful landing. This book has helped me see that it is possible to continue to have a creative life along with work and that there are steps i can take now if i want my creative career to sustain me full-time eventually. both practical and uplifting. i definitely recommend it.
very enjoyable, despite an awkward start.
