‘Brave, strong and important. I loved this book.’ – Liz Kessler, author of When The World Was Ours
‘A thought-provoking look at the realities of antisemitism in London.’ - The Guardian
‘[David] weaves fact with fiction - the what-ifs with the what-is - and the effect is heart-stopping… Brave and heart-shaking’ – The Jewish Chronicle
‘To be Jewish is to learn to live with the past, and to be ever vigilant for the future. But, I tell my children, the important thing is to savour the present. We sing and we eat and we laugh. We enjoy celebrations and parties because we know that dark days may be around the corner. “To life!” is the Jewish toast, and there’s a reason for that. When every generation is threatened with death, the sweet songs of life are all the more precious.’
– Vogue
‘An engaging, powerful and timely book, unflinching in its portrayal of modern-day antisemitism, but also about sibling rivalry, friendship and truth as well as the importance of history and memory.’
– The Times
‘I would love people to learn more about Judaism and Jewish history and see the Holocaust as part of that long history. Sadly, it wasn’t an isolated event, it was part of the many ways antisemitism has manifested and still does today. May it never be repeated.’
– Good Housekeeping
‘Part of my hope for this book is that it will raise awareness and understanding’ - Waitrose
‘Those of twelve and up will enjoy its fast pace and quick wit, while its handling of the subject matter is both sensitive and gripping.’ – Literary Review
