In this personal short essay, the author chronicles her trip to Riga, capital of Latvia, a journey she undertakes in an effort to track the mysterious past of her much-maligned father. She discovers that Riga, the Baltic States’ largest city rocks on with clubs, casinos and ever-present erotica. Also cultural fests with the National Opera, Ballet and Symphony. She also visits a synagogue, and learns much about her father's ultra-religious roots and life in cold, snowy Riga. ."Oh Daddy I miss you. I only wish I could have told you how much when we were together. Why did you have to leave Africa when I was 10? Why did you go to America?"
A Jew from Riga eBook Greta Beigel
A brief story, written well enough, but with very little about the background in Riga. I had hoped to have more of that information, more impressions about that, due to the title. Light on content overall.Product details

A Jew from Riga eBook Greta Beigel Reviews
This is a touching journey to find her father, long lost to her. We can all identify with that sense of loss regarding a parent. I wanted more.....
I was surprised to find it just a short chapter or so instead of a book. I was hoping for some insight into that area since my father came from Lithuania.
Really enjoyed this memoir by Ms. Beigel. My only complaint would be that it was too short! I hope she will expand this fascinating account of her family.
A good read.
"This is a touching tale about one daughter's quest to know more about a father who abandoned the family in Africa when she was a child. It's also a travelogue of sorts, offering some historical perspective about Riga, the capital of Latvia, and the birthplace of her Dad."
A moving tribute to a father who left the family ..a little girl who felt abandoned had to find out about this man who ultimately served her well ..a good read ...one wants more of the story
Another slice of life from the author of Mewsings My Life as a Jewish Cat. This time the author takes us with her as she visits Riga on a quest to learn more about the father who disappeared from her life when she was a child. Her story takes us to South Africa, the United States and Latvia. Beautifully written.
More like an outline than a story...too many holes and gaps.
A brief story, written well enough, but with very little about the background in Riga. I had hoped to have more of that information, more impressions about that, due to the title. Light on content overall.
