Book Description
In 1939, on the eve of Hitler's invasion of Poland, seven-year-old Edith Milton (then Edith Cohn) and her sister Ruth left Germany by way of the Kindertransport, the program which gave some 10,000 Jewish children refuge in England. The two were given shelter by a jovial, upper-class British foster family with whom they lived for the next seven years. Edith chronicles these transformative experiences of exile and good fortune in The Tiger in the Attic, a touching memoir of growing up as an outsider in a strange land.
In this illuminating chronicle, Edith describes how she struggled to fit in and to conquer self-doubts about her German identity. Her realistic portrayal of the seemingly mundane yet historically momentous details of daily life during World War II slowly reveals istelf as a hopeful story about the kindness and generosity of strangers. She paints an account rich with colorful characters and intense relationships, uncanny close calls and unnerving bouts of luck that led to survival. Edith's journey between cultures continues with her final passage to America—yet another chapter in her life that required adjustment to a new world—allowing her, as she narrates it here, to visit her past as an exile all over again.
The Tiger in the Attic is a literary gem from a skilled fiction writer, the story of a thoughtful and observant child growing up against the backdrop of the most dangerous and decisive moment in modern European history. Offering a unique perspective on Holocaust studies, this book is both an exceptional and universal story of a young German-Jewish girl caught between worlds.
“Adjectives like ‘audacious’ and ‘eloquent,’ ‘enchanting’ and ‘exceptional’ require rationing. . . . But what if the book demands these terms and more? Such is the case with The Tiger in the Attic, Edith Milton’s marvelous memoir of her childhood.”—Kerry Fried, Newsday
“Milton is brilliant at the small stroke . . . as well as broader ones.”—Alana Newhouse, New York Times Book Review

The Tiger in the Attic: Memories of the Kindertransport and Growing Up English by Edith Milton
The Kindertransport allowed 10,000 Jewish children to escape the holocaust by leaving Germany for England at the dawn of WW2. These children were uprooted from a country where life had already been frighteningly altered, to be transported to a foreign land on the brink of war. Yet Edith Milton's well written, engaging and often humorous memoir illuminates the surprising generosity and love she and her sister encountered in her new English home with "Uncle Bourke" and "Aunt Helen" and their family.
Readers are struck by the sometimes desperate need of the pre-adolescent Edith to "blend in," especially her efforts to absorb the staid English personae of her adopted family. Milton's memoir includes her post war journey to America and reunion with her brilliant, complicated mother, whose career as a doctor was not only terminated by anti-semitism in Germany, but cut off for years by the American medical establishment's paranoid prejudice against trained Europeans.
Throughout, the author's words draw a rich picture of the life she remembers living, and its fascinating contrast to her adult understanding of what was actually happening. Ultimately this is a story of a young person's realization of her true self.
Edith Milton has an extraordinary ability to write with clarity about things she admits may be conjured by occasionally faulty memory. The fact that this is a personal account of recent history, makes this book something essential to read. The excellent writing makes it a treat.
Wonderful Memoir.......2007-01-22
I read a little of this and a little of that..usually avoiding the current best sellers..So, when I read a review of this book, I put it on my Amazon Wish List.A kind person bought it for me as a holiday gift.It was not at all what I expected.This is an absolutely beautiful, touching story not only of the author but of two magnificent,caring people who opened their home and hearts to save 2 children from horror.There is a special place in the hereafter for the Aunt Helen's and Uncle Bourke's..This is an exceptionally well written tribute to two special people.
The Tiger in the Attic.......2006-03-18
This book was exceedingly well written. It gave one an insight into how the Jewish children fared that were sent to England to escape the Nazi Holocaust. Some were fortunate that their parents also escaped. This childs Mother was able to get to the United States and was reunited with her children. I enjoyed the book very much. Ruth Mirsky
Humane, humorous and lovely.......2005-10-25
Occasionally a bit coy in style, Milton's book is a lovely, poetic, thoughtful account of the author's seven years in England as a Kindertransport refugee. Her Anglophilia is tempered with gentle criticism of Britain's imperial past and the British tendency to suppress emotion, but this is ultimately an appreciation of British society and of the family who took in Edith and her older sister Ruth and saved them from the Nazis. _The Tiger in the Attic_ makes a fine companion volume to Lore Segal's wonderful novel _Other People's Houses_ and should be compelling to anyone interested in the dissection of English manners and mores. I hope Milton, who is in her seventies, will write a second book in which she tells the reader of her further relationship to Uncle Bourke and Aunt Helen; we are left wondering when and whether she ever saw them again, curious to hear more about their lives, and eager to lap up more of Milton's prose.
Living beautifully in dangerous times.......2005-10-16
There are many books about the kindertransport, but this one stands out above the others for the great literary value of the writing and the original insights of a truly wise child--the author Edith Milton as a young girl. This is, in fact, not exactly a book about the kindertransport, though it is the Nazi tyranny and a few feverish months leading up to the outbreak of war, when several thousand Jewish children were allowed to leave Germany on the kindertransport that prompts the story. For readers who savor the perfect detail, original characterizations, and clear, elegant language given in pursuit of story, this book about how an ad hoc family lived and even prospered during one of the most dangerous moments in English history will be deeply satisfying. Highest recommendations, too, for yournger readers as a coming of age story. There is nothing here, for all the danger implicit in Edith's young life, for parents to fear.
Book Description
Forgotten treasures rediscovered . . .
Spend an afternoon in your attic, basement, or garage-and travel back to a simpler time. Just touching your grandmother's diamond ring or your grandfather's fedora brings back beloved memories, connecting you to a past you may not even remember but will always cherish.
The stories in this latest collection from The Rocking Chair Reader document the blessings that we enjoy when we rediscover the goodness of the timeless treasures tucked away in the corners of our homes, such as:
A simple wedding gown, worn by four generations of happy brides
A button salvaged from a grandmother's button jar, whose sorting was always a time for storytelling
A collection of old papers that reveal the details of a father's military service-and help his daughter understand what he could never tell her
A dusty old trophy brings back the memory of a town Halloween costume parade
The Rocking Chair Reader: Memories from the Attic will remind you why you've kept so many things for so long-and will bring you back to the happiest times in your own life and in your family's precious history.

A heartwarming must-read..........2005-04-29
The Rocking Chair Reader: Memories from the Attic is the kind of book that makes you want to read it again. The beauty of a short story is its ability to steal you away from your own troubles for a little while, and this book does this in a unique way so that not only are you stolen, but you are also welcomed to travel through your own memories and family stories, secrets you thought you had forgotten. Several of the stories also have interesting profiles of the towns where the stories were set.
(I made a list of the towns that I would like to visit.)
The only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because I wanted more stories to be included, more opportunities for me to reminisce. My Mother, who also has a copy, said that it was "just perfect how it is".
Speaking of perfection, my favorite story in this collection is "Single Shot .22", Carbon Raines' latest short story. She has dazzled me again; I'm always excited to see her work in print.
The Bottom Line: This is an excellent work of literature and would be a wise addition to any home library.
(Not to mention what a great gift it would be for family members who are partial to small town America!)

Remembering the Little Things.......2006-06-25
What a wonderful trip back in time. I loved the reminiscing, the lovely stories recalled. It made me stop and re-discover all the little things of life you forget, and relish when you take the time to look at the blessings of life.
I loved the sense of humor!!! It was dry, witty and slipped up on you when you weren't looking for it. A totally fun read.

Iowa Memories.......2006-11-30
Let me now say a few words in praise of a great writer and 1949 Grinnell College grad Curtis Harnack. I finished Harnack's "The Attic, a Memoir" a while back and was deeply impressed for two reasons. It brought back memories of my years in Iowa and it's a well-written appreciation of the heritage that forms a person's character.
The Iowa experience may be, as my English professor told us back in '60, "soft cultural primitivism"--simply nostalgia for the good old days. Those days may not have been very good or even very old, but being at Grinnell was an academic oasis not unlike that portrayed by Herman Hesse's fictional "Magister Ludi." Today, my life is relieved by the Internet and confounded by computer viruses, made safer by medical breakthroughs but scared into insensibility by TV commercials for spurious pharmaceuticals. I wonder at times if I'm really ready to continue into the 21st century, or whether I could go back to a softer time when the big decision meant ordering corn showder or a pork loin sandwich. Happily, Harnack seems to appreciate these choices too.
My classmates from the '60s would ask if I'd read Harnack, who went on to take a Master's at Columbia and become executive director of Yaddo, the artist's colony at Saratoga Springs. I hadn't. A former classmate mentioned him again last year, so I finally bought "The Attic." I'm not a great fan of memoirs, although I've written some. "The Attic," however, successfully defines and then fulfills its mission: "One writes a memoir," Harnack states, "to discover what recollection of a time or particular event might reveal, seeking to make the personal into something universal to which unknown readers might relate."
The book's form introduces the reader to his hometown and farm through the journalistic device of closing up his family's homestead. It devolves somewhat lengthily into an examination of relatives he grew up with--including a genealogical table--but this offers perspective from many different points of view.
There may be a third reason for appreciating the book and author. Harnack is the solid and memorable writer I wish I could be. Describing "The Glorious Fourth," he writes, "Once upon a time we citizens felt impelled to demonstrate with Fourth-of-July hoopla that America had been strong enough to make a country for itself, and the smallest popping ladyfinger suggested the shots fired at Lexington and Concord. Now [World War II] nobody in the world needed to be told."
I wish I'd said that.

In this exquisite memoir, novelist Guanlong Cao sketches tales of growing up in Shanghai during the tumultuous Cultural Revolution. Cao's lean elegant prose, reminiscent of classical Chinese memoirs, heightens the emotional intensity of his story as he grows from child to young man while political upheavals sweep across the background. Perceptive, humorous, and original, his voice demands to be heard -- for the historical moment it captures as well as the personal revelation it distills.
Book Description
Novelist Guanlong Cao's autobiographical account of growing up in urban Shanghai affords a rare glimpse into daily life during the forty turbulent years following the Communist Revolution. Forced to the bottom of Chinese society as "class enemies," Cao's family eked out a meager existence in a cramped attic. The details of their day-to-day existence--the endless quest for enough food, its preparation, Cao's schooling and friends, the stirrings of sexual desire, his dreams and fantasies--are brought brilliantly to life in spare yet evocative prose. The memoir illuminates a world largely unknown to Westerners, one where human pettiness, cruelty, joy, and tenderness play themselves out against a backdrop of political upheaval and material scarcity.
Reminiscent of the concise style of classical Chinese memoirs, Cao's lean, elegant prose heightens the emotional intensity of his story. Perceptive and humorous, his voice is deeply original. It is a voice that demands to be heard--for the historical moment it captures as well as for the personal revelations it distills.
Customer Reviews:
Another World.......2002-05-02
This book is captivating and full of flavor. Cao's writing style is very wonderful. When read The Attic, you gain access to a world that is not common to 20th or 21 century Americans. Cao describes his life of living in Shanghai China with very little materials but making the very best of it. The book is an excellent example of the human spirit overcoming the challenges of life. After you get into he book you just cant put it down. I would prescribe this book to anyone that would like to see into the life of mid 20th century China. Caution, this book has customs and parts of daily life that are very different from western custom. Please read with caution if you have a sensitive nature.
An excellent tale of survival and guilt in tough times.......2000-03-09
This is a very well written tale of survival. It is filled with instances of humor and triumph. It depicts a Chinese culture and a cuisine that is not, as one of the previous reviewers stated, for the faint of heart. This story shows a person that is both proud to have survived and troubled by some of the things that he did to survive. I was fascinated by this story and I was grateful to have read it rather than to have lived it.
Disturbing and dark.......2000-03-02
The other reviews mention the graphic, nauseating chapter on unusual eating practices in China - things so horrifying to a Westerner that I won't even attempt to describe them.
The reviews leave out the human atrocities in the book, and there are plenty. What this author's sister is forced to do to her hand to survive chills my blood and depresses me, even now, months after my initial reading.
Overall, this is not a novel for the faint of heart - I can't express this enough!
The chapter on animal abuse (I can't call it anything but) is the most revolting thing I have ever read, so BEWARE! If you are a vegetarian, don't even ATTEMPT this book.
Aside from the dark content, I just did not find this book pleasing; the author is a selfish creep who abuses his family. I suppose the reader is supposed to write this off as cruel youth, but the entire book leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
If you want to read something both lyrical and informative about China, try Falling Leaves, or Red Scarf Girl, or Bound Feet, Western Dress. Any of those memoirs would be an excellent read. Red China Blues is also a fascinating book, though written by a Westerner. Don't bother with this book unless you want to be nauseated by the cold writing and the graphic descriptions of animal torture.
Beautifully written, captivating.......1999-12-14
This is a great book. Although there are some graphic descriptions of some foods, the book is well-written, absorbing. One of those good, rainy day, sitting in front of the fireplace, read-at- one-sitting books.
Shocking, Tragic, Funny - Truth is Stranger than Fiction.......1999-07-14
This is my all-time favorite book. I've read it three times. I suggest it to everyone. I've found myself chuckling through descriptions told with humor, but in reality must have been very difficult situations. I've heard only one negative response to the very short chapter devoted to methods of killing and eating animals. It is very shocking. It is not gratuitous violence, it's China's very ancient way. The author did not imply that these methods were widespread by any means. The rest of the book is funny and sad and thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Tony Horwitz returned from years of traipsing through war zones as a foreign correspondent only to find that his childhood obsession with the Civil War had caught up with him. Near his house in Virginia, he happened to encounter people who reenact the Civil War--men who dress up in period costumes and live as Johnny Rebs and Billy Yanks. Intrigued, he wound up having some odd adventures with the "hardcores," the fellows who try to immerse themselves in the war, hoping to get what they lovingly term a "period rush." Horwitz spent two years reporting on why Americans are still so obsessed with the war, and the ways in which it resonates today. In the course of his work, he made a sobering side trip to cover a murder that was provoked by the display of the Confederate flag, and he spoke to a number of people seeking to honor their ancestors who fought for the Confederacy. Horwitz has a flair for odd details that spark insights, and Confederates in the Attic is a thoughtful and entertaining book that does much to explain America's continuing obsession with the Civil War.
Book Description
When prize-winning war correspondent Tony Horwitz leaves the battlefields of Bosnia and the Middle East for a peaceful corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains, he thinks he's put war zones behind him. But awakened one morning by the crackle of musket fire, Horwitz starts filing front-line dispatches again this time from a war close to home, and to his own heart.
Propelled by his boyhood passion for the Civil War, Horwitz embarks on a search for places and people still held in thrall by America's greatest conflict. The result is an adventure into the soul of the unvanquished South, where the ghosts of the Lost Cause are resurrected through ritual and remembrance.
In Virginia, Horwitz joins a band of 'hardcore' reenactors who crash-diet to achieve the hollow-eyed look of starved Confederates; in Kentucky, he witnesses Klan rallies and calls for race war sparked by the killing of a white man who brandishes a rebel flag; at Andersonville, he finds that the prison's commander, executed as a war criminal, is now exalted as a martyr and hero; and in the book's climax, Horwitz takes a marathon trek from Antietam to Gettysburg to Appomattox in the company of Robert Lee Hodge, an eccentric pilgrim who dubs their odyssey the 'Civil Wargasm.'
Written with Horwitz's signature blend of humor, history, and hard-nosed journalism,
Confederates in the Attic brings alive old battlefields and new ones 'classrooms, courts, country bars' where the past and the present collide, often in explosive ways. Poignant and picaresque, haunting and hilarious, it speaks to anyone who has ever felt drawn to the mythic South and to the dark romance of the Civil War.

Confederate in the Attic.......2007-10-15
Just started reading the book thus far it is entertaining and delightful. I look forward to my quiet evening reading time everyday. It amazes me how
we continue to get Civil War info. from these wonderful writers.
"Stonewall" Jackson's arm and other Civil War minutia.......2007-09-21
Simply a fun read. If you are a civil war buff like me you will enjoy reading this John Stosselesque investigative book of Civil War facts, minutia, and why Confederate esprit de corps lives on 142 years after Lee's surrender at Appomattox. Mr. Horwitz writes his book as a travelogue through the Civil War South. He recounts his travels as he meets new and interesting people and places, and how they still view the War between the States, as the Civil War is known in the South, as an ongoing struggle. He breaks down the book in chapters pertaining to the Southern states he visited.
The book is full of funny, sad, and informative facts like where and when was the first shot of the Civil War actually fired? And No, it was NOT Fort Sumter. But most important was his analysis of the continuing, living spirit of the Civil War South of 1861-1865. It lives today in a variety of ways that Mr. Horowitz points out and discusses.
All in all a must book for Civil War buffs of all kind. A good solid read, well written and factual. Not a tactics or war strategy manual of unit names and engagements, but rather a human interest book of who and what modern day Dixie is and why it lives on today in Southern people, places and things. I recommend it highly.
yet another batch of anti-southern stereotypes rehashed.......2007-07-17
I bought this book on the reccomendation of a fellow civil war buff. I was hoping for some fresh insights on the subject of the lost cause and it's continued effect on our (southern) lives. Instead it is a collection of overblown, trite, highly condescending, negative, hateful fiction. I have lived in the south/southwest my entire life (44 yrs) and I have never encountered anyone remotely resembling the ignorant, racist, borderline psychopaths that the author claims to have found on almost every street corner south of Mason-Dixon. This book is not what I expected. I will avoid further works of fiction by Mr. Horwitz.
New South and Old South.......2007-07-08
Tony Horwitz inadvertently sees Confederate Civil War reenactors near his Virginia home which launches him into an adventure across the South, attending reenactments but also comparing the New South to the Old South. He found out that some things have really changed, and some things have hardly changed at all. He looks into race relations, modern Confederate sympathizers, the Confederate flag controversy, and also gives a great history lesson on many parts of the Civil War, throwing in a lot of trivia that I had not read before. The Civil War continues to be a part of a lot of people's daily lives in the Deep Deep South and Horwitz writes with depth, understanding, and a welcome sense of humor. Recommended.
Well, the Civil War/War of Northern Aggression/War for State's Rights/Whatever Is Still Being Fought!.......2007-03-27
As a Southerner and lifelong American Civil War buff, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Tony Horwitz' account of traveling the various Southern states and to get an account of the war from mainly the Southern view. While not an advocate of the South's position, he did seem to be respectful of how some Southerners viewed the war over 140 years later after the war ended.
Horwitz traveled Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and parts of Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas to various Civil War sites and to talk with people on their thoughts of what the war meant to them. While he finds pockets of people who still fight the war, he is appalled that most people do not know or really care to know what happened during 1861-1865.
Among the highlights:
1. How he became interested in the war.
2. His trip to Montgomery, Alabama and the irony of the exhibits on the Civil Rights and the First Capital of the Confederacy.
3. His "Wargasm" trip with Robert Hodge (the character in the absolutely hilarious photo on the book's cover) through several Virginia sites in a matter of a few days.
4. Watching Civil War reenactments at Gettysburg and other battlefields.
5. Touring the Civil War prison in Salisbury NC.
The narrative is smooth, interesting, and flows freely from chapter to chapter. As mentioned earlier, I am a lifelong Civil War buff and was able to visualize several of the battlefields I had visited that Horwitz mentioned in his book. I also enjoyed his insights as a Jew.
A great book to read about how some people still fight and view the war. My only complaint was some of the saucy language. Still, a great read.
Highly recommended. Read and enjoy!
