A memoir that interweaves his early life with that of his great uncle, who was Indian, and his great aunt, a German Jew. It explores a world splintered by the tragedies and triumphs of the 20th century concentrating largely on his aunt’s family and friends left behind in Germany once she had escaped in 1938. It’s a worthy, detailed and very personal story.
