I very much enjoyed You Gotta Have Balls by Lily Brett which is set in New York. An Australian woman, Ruth, living in New York has her 87-year-old father, Edek, living nearby. He is a wonderful character, a Holocaust survivor with a bright outlook on life. The reader will eventually "hear" him speak and be drawn in to his world. Two Polish women, Zofia and Walentyna arrive in New York and live with Edek. Zofia is a fabulous cook and the three of them decide they will open a restaurant. Ruth is at her wits end as she thinks this is an insane idea as she doesn't believe they can possibly do all that is required to run a successful restaurant. A really "nice" story. 4/5Saturday, March 12, 2016
