Synopsis
A 10-year-old girl fleeing Vienna during Hitler's regime reaches England, where she stays in a variety of families and experiences many different ways of life. She stays with rich Orthodox Jews, a working class family, the formal Victorian household of two elderly sisters--and thence to the Dominican Republic to join her family while they wait for visas for the U.S. This autobiographical novel is Lore Segal's first.

Publisher's Note
Nine months after Hitler takes Austria, a ten-year-old girl leaves Vienna on a train that is to take several hundred children westward to safety. For the next seven years she lives in "other people's houses," and in this novel Lore Segal depicts with insight the settings and the ways of life of the people who gave her refuge. Originally published in 1964, Other People's Houses is Lore Segal's first novel and the one that brought her international acclaim.

Industry reviews
"A unique document in narrative....[L]ight, easy, dry, and done with the detachment of a born storyteller."
