A WALL STREET JOURNAL BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Beautiful, sober and
affecting - a testament to remembrance and friendship' - DALIA
SOFER 'A momentous historic retrieval and work of literary art' -
PHILLIP LOPATE 'Having the last word can be very lonely.' Nearly a
century of life behind her, Stella Levi had never shared the full
details of her past with anyone. That is until she met Michael
Frank, and asked him to help her polish a talk she was to give
about life in the Juderia of Rhodes. Neither of them could know
that this was the first of one hundred Saturdays that they would
spend in each other's company. Courageous and sharp, elegant and
sly, Stella is a formidable modern Scheherazade whose Saturday
instalments give a window into the vibrant, vanished world of the
Jews of Rhodes. She unspools for the first time the long threads of
her history - from the sun-soaked shores of her childhood, to the
fifteen harrowing months she spent in camps scattered throughout
Europe, and finally to the United States and New York as one of
only 150 Jews from Rhodes to survive. Featuring colour
illustrations based on Stella's family photographs, One Hundred
Saturdays is an unusual and extraordinary memoir. It is a testament
to the soul-saving power of relationships; to memories revisited;
to resilience. It's not only a vital slice of history that has
largely been ignored, but a story of the possibility of an
ever-evolving self, even after confronting Hell.
