The whole collection is strong, passionate, and poignant, but the mother and daughter poems, fierce and emotional, with their intense ambivalence, pain and joy, themes of separation and reconnecting, are among the very strongest about that difficult relationship. 

                                                                                  The Last Kabbalsit of Lisbon, (Richard Zimler, author) an historical fiction book.

This, against the backdrop of the Lisbon riots in which tens of thousands of Jew were killed.
