Story5 out of 5 stars 1
When her marriage suddenly ends, and a diary documenting her beloved Opa’s escape from Nazi-occupied Netherlands in the summer of 1942 is discovered, Naomi Lewis decides to retrace his journey to freedom. Travelling alone from Amsterdam to Lyon, she discovers family secrets and her own narrative as a second-generation Jewish Canadian. With vulnerability, humour, and wisdom, Lewis’s memoir asks tough questions about her identity as a secular Jew, the accuracy of family stories, and the impact of the Holocaust on subsequent generations.

Naomi Lewis’s book is a small trip but a massive journey of many small important ideas. The author’s narration adds to the experience my bringing a first person perspective of all the issues she tackles. The exploration of these small human issues is thought provoking, and deftly handled my Ms Lewis’s wonderful prose.
