Just loved this family saga. When I was in Istanbul last year, I fortuitously met the daughter of a very old Istanbul Jewish family. The picture she painted was one of an ever shrinking tiny community, so it was very poignant to read about a time before, as it was also rich and poignant to read about the author's grandmother's life in Queens - not far from where my own grandparents lived and raised a family about the same time. The writing is good, the characterizations are good and the material, at least to me, truly fascinating.
