Harry Bernstein
The narrow street on which Harry grew up appeared identical to countless other working-class English neighborhoods, except for the invisible wall that ran down the center of the street, dividing the Jewish families on one side from the Christians on the other. The geographical distance may have been yards, but socially, it was miles. Families on either side did not speak or meet. But when Harry's older sister fell for the boy across the street, Harry became a go-between for the lovers, crossing the great divide to hide their secret. When the truth inevitably came out, Harry had to decide, at a very young age, what he believed was morally right.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Young Harry serves as a wide-eyed guide to a world since dismantled....True to a child's experience, it is the details of domestic life that illuminate the tale." (Publishers Weekly)
"A groundbreaking story of family secrets and forbidden love told in plain, beautiful prose through the eyes of a young Jewish boy....the chapters are tense with danger and with tenderness." (Booklist)
"In Mr. Bernstein's hands, the small events of family life and the daily dramas on the street take on a shimmering, timeless quality." (The New York Times)

What made the story enjoyable was the fondness the author had for his childhood home, in spite of the daily struggle with poverty and anti-Semitism, and his ability to inspire the same fondness in the reader. Fortunately his writing style is straightforward and unsentimental, allowing the material to be more poignant than maudlin. The reading by John Lee was good, adding to the sense of place and time. He was especially good at distinguishing the old and the young. A good, easy read.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I could listen to this over and over again without being bored. I could visualize the street, the neighbors on both sides, the struggle of his mother, the sights and smells. So many angles to examine within this book - it's a classic.Any additional comments?
As usual - the follow-up story by the same author falls short.Like you're there in person...

on about Mr. Bernstein's life in America. Beautifully told story about life in early 20th century England. Who knew that there was a thriving Jewish community outside of London

I loved the characters, I loved the stories. I loved the narration. I loved the ending and do want to hear more. Probably the only negative I have is that I was unsure of the timing until the end. I wasn't sure if the war was WWI or WWII.
Wonderful

This true story made me realize that no matter what your religious up bringing we all have prejudices,sometimes due to a lack of tolerance or just plain ignorance. When W.W.I began only then did the adults in the community seem to sincerely care about one another as human beings, and forget their religious differences when their children started coming home either disabled or dead.
A must read for anyone who is interested in religion,history and/or interfaith relationships.
