Reviewing lost times on Milwaukee's South Side during the 1930s and 1940s and beyond, this chronicle offers memorable events of an extended family of European heritage, some immigrating to America at the start of the 20th century. Recalling those events, the chronicle depicts how feelings and dreams deferred influenced perceptions and responses to the challenges of living in a new social environment and changing culture. Through its search for lost times, the chronicle offers momentst casting a line to the past that contributes to an understanding of the present passing moment.
Vivid, emotive writing that opens a doorway to a bygone era, this is the work of an acutely observant, perspicacious writer who captures with equal vigor the hubbub of South Side street life and the volatility of family dynamics existing behind closed doors. - Kirkus Review
