Descriere

Although Short Memoirs of a Long Life is a memoir, Esther Bogen's story is moving and humorous, educational and insightful, and serves as a personal history of a woman and a nation. Beginning with her early years with her bubby in 1930s New York, Esther goes on to weather a tumultuous marriage during World War II; the prejudices, as well as the hospitality, of the Southern states; living as a single mother during the post-Baby Boomer era; and includes an entertaining glimpse into the swinging era of the 1960s and 70s. Short Memoirs of a Long Life serves as a means to educate and inform the younger generations of the perseverance it took to survive through difficult times, while simultaneously allowing Esther and her contemporaries to stroll down memory lane of nearly eight decades of historical landmarks.
