London Street

History & Biography

“Jane Griffioen’s London Street is one of the finest portraits of family life I have ever read. On London Street, in the heart of a Christian Reformed Dutch-American enclave, the too-frequent reminders that we are not like God are examined by a very curious girl named Janie, who grows up trying to solve all the big puzzles of family life—love and betrayal, coping with loss, and faith. We share both Janie’s joys and sorrows in this startlingly intimate examination of a family that we all recognize, at least in part. This fabulous book should not be missed and is a must-read for book clubs!”
