The Blog “Travel Smart with Jodie” posted a nice review of the book:
“The picture that emerges is of a young, spirited, intelligent woman who has numerous choices to make that include abiding by her Jewish upbringing amidst the turmoil of a beleaguered England, France right after the Allied invasion and Germany after VE Day.”

There’s a nice review written in “The Arty Semite” blog from the Forward about Mollie’s book
