It shows you the relationship of Jews living in their communities, and how they view themselves, and how the community around them views them too.
It is as if you have stepped into the past and are walking around in the characters shoes. It is a real insight into history, their lives in Berlin, New York, Paris, Naples, San Francisco. We read those letters, learning the lives of Dr Samson and the Other Mrs Samson, and later how he met Katie. In her will Katie leaves the narrator letters between Dr and Mrs Samson about their lives, and reading them he learns that there was an other Mrs Samson, a wife before Katie. Katie lost her husband years ago, and he is dearly missed.
The narrator looks back over his close relationships with his grandparents and Mrs Samson, also known as Katie. Themes of Love, Friendship, and Life Experience resonate throughout. This book drew me in, from the very first sentence.
