If Hollywood had written a screenplay of this story, you would enjoy it but chalk it up to a work of fiction. Leslie Maintland, the author, has actually written the true story of her mother Janine Gunsburger and her star-crossed lover Roland. Ms. Maintland did a lot of research to corroborate her mother’s stories and recollections of life in pre-war Europe, her Jewish family’s eventual escape to the United States via refugee camps in Cuba in 1942, her marriage to Len, an American-born Jew, and her eventual meeting with Roland 50 years later. I truly enjoyed this book.
