Book Summary
This evocative picture of a lost London and a vanished culture is also the story of a bookish boy discovering his own path. John Gross, the former editor of the Times Literary Supplement, is the son of a Jewish doctor who practiced in the East End of London from the 1920s to World War II and beyond. Remarkably readable and entertaining. --Antonia Fraser. A very beautiful and valuable book. -- Oliver Sacks
