Recenzii

Eva Richter tells the story of her childhood in Tientsin (Tianjin) China during World War II vividly with marvelous descriptions and sense of drama and irony. It was a life of Jewish refugees from the Nazis in the city's British Sector - rare privilege mixed with scary moments and discomfort under Japanese occupation and later Chinese civil war. The contrast of her life in China with her college years in, of all places, Utah, is nicely drawn. A rare and evocative read!
Eva Richter has gifted us with a riveting powerful memoir. We travel over time across the world-- from her family's history in Germany, to her parents (both medical doctors) move to Tientsin China in 1934 when Eva was 2 , to the US when she was 16 and her ultimate home in New York.
Every page is packed with stirring research, stimulating details, fascinating history, stunning surprises. Readers interested in history, war and peace, the vagaries of life, will enjoy and be profoundly informed by this superb book.
