as cliched a story as this is, it's more. if you are a jewish new york baby boomer, chances are you knew the catskills scene back in the 60's and 70's. i spent my summers at sleep away camp minutes away from all of the borscht belt hotels. they were legendary. in the early 2000's i had the opportunity to work as a massage therapist at the last hotel still in operation. the place was falling apart but the nostalgia and charm and energy was still alive. this book has a bittersweet vibe to it.
it is the story of two families who become one family. it includes 4 generations and i found myself growing to love them the further i read. there are tons of current terms in the book which rub up against the vintage feel of the golden hotel. but somehow, it works! a good beach read.
