I thoroughly enjoyed Mr Rosenblum's List by Natasha Solomons which is the story of Mr Rosenblum, his wife Sadie and young daughter Elizabeth arriving in England as German Jewish refugees just prior to World War II. Mr Rosenblum is determined to be come a "real Englishman". He is given a list on how best to "behave" in English society and he is constantly adding to his list. He builds a successful business and buys his suits and other goods in English shops. When he is refused entry to English golf clubs, he decides to build his own in the countryside. In the small English village near his acreage home he meets a number of quirky characters as he struggles to build his golf course. This is a beautiful poignant tale with humour, love and friendship. 5/5Monday, August 27, 2012
