Managing Bubbie was a fast and very enjoyable read. It's got two layers – the story is told in alternating chapters of Bubbie Lea's old age in the United States and her impossibly hard youth, navigating nazi Europe and looking for a way to keep her family alive. The story is masterfully written – I couldn't pry myself away. And despite dealing with real hardships, it's not told in a sad way at all. On the contrary, its full of humor – especially so with the chapters about the present, but there's still plenty of it even in the chapters about war hardship. It's told in a very sober, light tone, so its an exceptional read.
