by HaroldCarlton (Author)
Seen through the eyes of earnest thirteen-year-old Howard, a Jewish family of 1950s London springs into larger-than-life clarity. Beautiful Mum, embittered and repressed Dad, gentle, kindly Grandpa, and towering above the rest, Grandma, with her famed black cloche and white satin bloomers, her unmatchable 'way' with chicken soup (cooked for two days and served with feather-light kneidlach) and her unshakeable belief that her sons are better than any others; all whirl around Howard, who struggles to understand himself and his family with the help of Freud and his knowledgeable elder sister Rachel.
