Other People'S Houses
Nine months after Hitler takes Austria, a ten-year-old girl leaves Vienna aboard a childrenās transport that is to take her and several hundred children to safety in England. For the next seven years she lives in āother peopleās houses,ā the homes of the wealthy Orthodox Jewish Levines, the working-class Hoopers, and two elderly sisters in their formal Victorian household. An insightful and witty depiction of the ways of life of those who gave her refuge, Other Peopleās Houses is a wonderfully memorable novel of the immigrant experience.
