Jew Boy is a story of friendship between two people, a Jew and a Gentile. Both had war disrupted childhoods. It is a story of violence against a Jewish community, intertwined with a picaresque business life. It is also a story of dependency, love and lost dreams - a story of a woman who came to live in Wales and her friendship with a man born in Russian Poland, diminished by being labelled Jew Boy in the hidden prejudice of Wales.
