Michael Garton

Intriguing story of discovering his Central European Jewish roots about which his parents had been completely silent. Parallels my own story. The writing is a bit naive, even schoolboyish, with - you guessed it! - a heavy smattering of exclamation marks!! The appendix has a fictional story and a diary by women of the family both of which bring alive the painful emotions and confusions of the events somewhat missing from the main narrative.
