Critics Review
An extraordinary and compelling book of reckonings - a journey across a long, complex and deeply painful arc of history, grippingly told - a wonderful melding of the personal and the political, the family and the historical. – Philippe Sands
An extraordinary, cadenced and moving story. I felt gripped by Meriel Schindler’s uncovering of her father’s story and by her tenacity and courage in telling it so openly. – Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes
‘Enthralling memoir… ideal for anyone who loved The Hare with Amber Eyes.’ * The Bookseller *
‘An absorbing memoir… told with forensic detail.’ * Jewish Chronicle *
‘Written by a leading employment lawyer, this is a remarkable journey to uncover the truth behind the stories… It is a historical detective story uncovering family history. I cannot recommend it too highly.’ * Law Society Gazette *
