Review:
*WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD* "A marvelously lucid account of a savage childhood, and of the family conspiracy that engendered it."
--Anita Brookner "Well constructed and beautifully written, [with] an emotional honesty which generates its own kind of lasting truth."
--The Times Literary Supplement "An astonishing, impossible-to-put-down page-turner of a book! Kehoe's tale will elicit glimmers of recognition in anyone who has wondered how to go about freeing oneself from the world which begins at home."
--Daphne Merkin, author of Dreaming of Hitler
"At once a memoir and a reminder of how the global and the intensely personal inextricable intertwine. An awesome an exhilarating tale."
--Carolyn See, author of The Handyman
"Eloquent . . . As in the best fiction, the story ultimately makes a scramble of our easy moralizing. This memoir . . . transcends its own form, becoming a testament to the ways in which historical ills sicken the individual soul."
--Newsday
