"This is the history of one family but it is also, in microcosm, the story of the Jewish people over the past two centuries. Kenneth Collins, the premier chronicler of Scottish Jewry ... encounters Communists and Zionists, businessmen and intellectuals, upright citizens and endearing eccentrics. Collins writes about them all with verve, insight, and gentle humanity. Bravo!""""- Bernard Wasserstein, Emeritus Professor of Modern European Jewish History, University of Chicago """"I have never come across a family as widely dispersed, with as many branches, and with such a variety of very different experiences and careers. Equally, it is a little unusual to find an author who has kept in touch, or managed to establish touch, with all the branches of his family. The result is a fascinating set of family portraits.""""- Professor Aubrey Newman"
