"There are many pleasures in this book: sex, travel, philosophy, art history. Benderson's louche tale is woven through a closely observed study of Romania, politically, historically and sociologically, the end of his mother's life, and the love affair between Romania's interbellum King Carol II and his Jewish mistress Magda Lupescu."

"The extraordinary true story of an ordinary woman, a zookeeper’s wife, who saved over three hundred Jewish refugees by smuggling them out of the Warsaw ghetto and concealing them in the cages of her zoo, and the basement of the zoo’s villa. Truly inspiring and increasingly relevant in these political times."
