Vivid reminiscences of a childhood in Glasgow in the 1950s by the youngest child and only daughter of an elderly couple with strong religious convictions and limited income, a life extraordinarily different from the accepted norms now. I am reminded of the children depicted by Joan Eardley and Oscar Marzaroli in their handmade and hand-me-down clothes, but the Cohen family was educated and musical, so perhaps not all that typical of the Scottish urban poor these artists have recorded.

George picked this book up for his mother, and hasn't given it to her yet, so I flipped through it and had a few chuckles. Some of the lines/lies are Jewish-specific ("We do the whole seder."), while others are more generic. I enjoyed the accompanying illustrations as well.

Quirky and bizarre, think Woody Allen, great read for writers and want to be authors; it’s a study on voice, the way your characters speak. I couldn’t get their voices out of my head they were so distinct. It’s about a woman who helps writers with their manuscripts or their ideas for books that aren’t quiet solid. Esther Cohen uses the writers’ letters as illustrations, very funny; anyone who has written a query letter trying to explain your idea will relate. 4 stars for this fiction study on the writer’s life.… (mere)
