"Warm feelings between grandfather and grandson were never stronger than in this story of a Jewish family in 1920's Montreal, Canada. Grandpa's horse and wagon has a charm much beyond the reality of calling for "Rags, old clothing ..." which is the old man's occupation. The father has grand hopes for a more comfortable life and expects his old father-in-law to support his ventures. There are moments of Jewish celebration and song, but the tensions and conflicts cause much pain and regret." -Reviewed by WorldCat.org
