Customer Reviews

We all enjoyed Horowitz and Mrs Washington

This is really a fine book and in many ways better than other books that I have read by this author.My wife enjoyed this book as well.I recommend it strongly as it is will appeal to all people even though the setting is about a elderly Jewish gentlemen and a black lady who is trying to help him

An excellent story, well written with exciting characters

I read this book several years ago and enjoyed it. It came into my possession again recently and it was like meeting an old friend again. The story of Sam Horowitz and Mrs. Washington is touching and heartwarming. To sumarise this book and tell the story of Sam Horowitz, an American Jew who is mugged and slashed by black 'savages' and then has a stroke while having his face stitched, sounds so depressing, but then one meets Sam, and Mrs. Washington, his black nurse, and Mona, his typically Jewish daughter, and finds the lovely Jewish wit of Sam and the strength of Mrs. Washington. Mr. Denker, thank you for the enjoyment you have given me, not just by introducing me to Sam, but for also introducing me to Harry Spencer (in a later novel) - two of the most lifelike characters I have ever met.
