A review by ingread27
Immigrant City by David Bezmozgis

3.0

A set of 7 short stories, written by a Latvian immigrant. Being of the same age as the author, and of Latvian descent (as a child, my mom fled Latvia during WWII), I was affected greatly by several of these stories. They inspire me to learn more about the different ways the war affected Latvians at the time. My mom was too young to know more than her own experience, and not being Jewish, it would have been different than the author's family. I know too little about this piece of history for my own liking.
So some stories were beautiful and touching, and others left me a little flat, but were still interesting. Overall, I'm so grateful to have been given this book.
