Secrets: Boyhood in a Jewish Hotel

by Ronald Hayman

A memorable record of Jewish family life in England, set mainly at Hayman's grandmother's seaside hotel in Bournemouth. I like Hayman's autobiography very much. The characters are all most moving to me, as are the environments...The internal changes in the hero reflected in the story as we move from boyhood to young manhood are so beautifully mirrored and so convincing."" - Angus Wilson. ""Curiously gripping and hard to put down...the writing is extremely skilful."" - The Times.
