Their Promised Land

Ian Buruma's grandparents, Bernard and Winifred (Bun & Win), wrote to each other regularly throughout their life together. They were married for more than sixty years, but the heart of their remarkable story lies within the span of the two world wars. Their letters are a priceless record of an assimilated Jewish family living in England throughout the upheavals of the twentieth century. A fascinating, wonderfully readable book.
