I "know" Ben Segenreich from his appearances in the Austrian evening news, so I knew that his new book would be interesting. It was. But actually, I enjoyed his wife's chapters even more. This isn't as autobiographical as I had expected, but does a good job of describing various aspects of Israeli life and politics by people who understand it, and also understand Austrian reality. This is definitely aimed at Austrian readers. Others may be irritated by the frequent references to and comparisons with Austria, but for me it was a good fit. (I have Daniela's other book waiting for me at the library.) ( )
