Some have said it’s the perfect summer read. Why? Because of swimming? Swimming was just a sub, sub-plot. This is about a Jewish family in New Jersey that experienced a tragedy and how they handled it. That and it touches on the beginnings of WWII and what Jews in Europe were facing, although that too was a sub, sub-plot. I’m sorry, I wasn’t an English major. I don’t know the technical term. I really enjoyed the author’s writing.
