Reviews: “Azila Reisenberger is an extraordinary woman and a wonderful story-teller. She is searingly honest about herself, with self-deprecating wit and dead-pan humour. At times also very moving. Her mother tongue, Hebrew, has actually enabled her to enrich her use of English with its colloquialisms and allusions.” – John Scott, former editor of the Cape Times.
