Pretty brutal, but also a fascinating look at pre-WWII NYC and the Jewish community there. It's meant as a memoriam to the author's mother and her family, most of whom died in Latvia in the Shoah, and it's written very effectively and emotionally. I'm sure there are more comprehensive looks at that period, but this was certainly the most evocative that I've read.
