Reviews

"[The novel] describes in deliciously wry comic accents the experiences of an Argentinian Jewish girl. . . . A delightful book." Kirkus Reviews"

"A pungent, semi-autobiographical account of growing up Jewish in Argentina in the 1940s, this small gem of a novel (originally published in Spanish in 1971) is marked by Steimberg's distinctive voice wittily irreverent, ironic yet warm, at once precocious and worldly-wise. . . . Labinger's translation is a delight, conveying the sights, sounds, misconceptions and dreams of an intensely experienced youth." Publishers Weekly"
