A wonderful comic novel with an enchanting blend of humour and crisp observation. Set in wartime England it centres around the life of Wolfy, a young Jewish refugee, who lives with the 'strudelbakers' - his super-critical aunt and melancholy uncle. An expert at living in two worlds - the chaotic and dark world of displaced people and the world of vitality and temptation he finds in the London streets, Wolfy discovers an England that is both new and exciting and rich and unusual - not unlike real strudel: complex, succulent and full of goodies. Sheer delight. No library descriptions found. |
