Opis

A heart-felt and vivid navigation through the life and experiences of a Jewish boy growing up in post war Bombay in the late Forties, Fifties and early Sixties; into manhood in England in the early Sixties, to the present day. How it is completely imperative, and absolutely crucial that, when plastering a new wall, the plaster MUST be levelled off and smoothed at the time of plastering and while it is still wet and pliable as, alas, if this is not done, it will be far, far too late to level and smooth it off later when it has dried, and a lovely, new wall that would have been, will be ruined. . This book records, in detail, the obvious and the not-so-obvious thoughts and experiences of one boy and, later, the man, who so wanted, above all, to be a normal Jew. The trials and tribulations of this boy and, later, the man, who was effectively made an outcast by his own community for 'marrying out', compounded by the fact that he was a born Priest -- a Cohen.
