The Invisible Wall: A Love Story That Broke Barriers Audiobook

" Sad view into religious boundaries that were present in the early 1900's and still seen around the world today. Book was intriguing enough to make me want to read the sequel. "

" Beautifully written memoir by Harry Bernstein at 93 years old recalling his life growing up (beginning at 4 years old) in the ghettos of England; the street was divided with Jews on one side and Christians on the other. The cultural divisions, dependencies, and interactions are so well described, you can envision the neighborhood and its residents. It takes a constant reminder that you're not reading a novel. "

" I knew I wanted to read this book the minute I saw it and read the synopsis on the back at Target. I went in with high expectations which is usually a huge no no for me since I always come out disappointed. I'm glad to say it was everything I was hoping for. Sweet story filled with love, history, humor, and an underlining message on the ignorance of prejudice. Although the prejudice in this book is between Jews and Christians, it is one that can still be applied in today's society, whether it be religion, race, or wealth. This was a quick read that I would recommend. "

" I couldn't put this book down. It was so beautifully written, and the story pulled me in right away. A love story in the midst of WW1, between the Christian and Jewish sides of the street. A must read. "

" One of my groups had picked this for the BOM, I thought it could be interesting so I grabbed it. However as I started reading it I realized that this one just wasn't for me. "

" This book was written by a man in his 90's remembering growing up in England pre WWII and being a Jewish boy. It was well written and very interesting. Our book club read this for March and all the ladies liked the book. A good discussion on mental illness, family, Jewish culture vs LDS culture. "

" Well written, easy to read. Love that the author was 96 when he wrote this. That said it's extremely depressing. Nothing good happens for anybody in the end. "

" I bought this book not realizing it was a memoir. Half-way into it I discovered that it was, and even more amazing is that Harry Bernstein was 97 when he wrote it. The story is of his childhood, growing up in England during WWI, and telling of the hardships his family faced. Great book. "

" I loved this book, the more I think about it the more I like it and remember all the parts I liked so much. wouldn't you have liked to have known Harry when we was a young boy growing up? "

" Loved this true story of Harry Bernstein growing up in the 1900s in abject poverty. His street in England had Jews on one side and Christians on the other and his story is so real I can see the street. "

" Very interesting true story about a Jewish boy growing up in London on a street that was one-side Jewish homes and across the street Christian homes. The story starts right before WWII and details how being in that culture of separation but still as neighbors affected him and his family. "
