Born in Prague, the author was a young woman when the Nazis arrived, and she survived the years of terror before starting again in Israel, then a new and innocent state. There she became a journalist for some thirty years, and also wrote biographies and translated books. Her memoir covers all of it, together with family life, friendships, books and cooking. She tells it without anger, regret or even longing for the past: there is a little sadness in it, much humour, and the amazement of a person who has come through so much and suddenly sees her whole life laid out before her.
