This book is at its best when it is exploring Felice's life--but it often segues into long passages about history which are rather dry and happen too often for my personal taste. I also was somewhat confused by the chronology as sometimes a later chapter would "go back" to something that had happened earlier in Felice's life than where the previous chapter had left off.

I can only imagine the horrors that Felice lived through being a Jew in WWII times. I admire her for being "Outside the box" for a woman of her time.

I can definitely sense the love the author had for his mother as well as the desire to know why certain things were as they were when he was younger. ( )

As a young girl in WWII Poland, Felice faced almost certain death until she was able to emigrate to Palestine. Leaving her first love behind, she traveled from country to country, searching for a home. Her journey, both physical and emotional, is the basis of Felice's Worlds.

Dr. Henry Massie tells his mother's story as only a son could tell it. These are the stories that he heard his entire life. Her journey is a fascinating story. However, the writing style is a bit dry. It reads more like an academic paper than as a biography. I found it interesting that, as an adult, a Holocaust survivor heard him tell his mother's story and told him that he had the emotional distance of a survivor. His writing has the same detachment, which makes for a difficult reading experience. However, her story is an interesting one and deserves to be told.

And what a vibrant voice!   It's like a stream of water that fills your mouth.

Frederico Garcia Lorca, Yerma, Act 1, Scene 2
Why would anyone want to write about me?   I'm just a girl from a poor village in Poland.   But I had so many adventures.   I can't believe all the things that happened to me.   Sometimes truth is better than fiction because its more unbelievable.

Felice Ozerovicz Massie.
