A Day of Pleasure: Stories of a Boy Growing Up in Warsaw by Roman Vishniac, Isaac Bashevis Singer

xxstefaniereadsxx's review against another edition

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

3.0

 This book was the personal account of Isaac Bashevis Singer, who grew up in Poland. His account of life in Poland was very interesting to read, and so sad to think about how all of these beautiful places and things were destroyed in World War II. Childhoods were never the same after World War I and World War II in this region. I thought this was a great read.
