Bridget: 21/26: 700 Sundays by Billy Crystal

Summary: 192 pp. Non-fiction.

Funny but poignant portrayal of life in the Crystal family. The title of the book is making reference to the fact that Sunday was the only day that the family could be together (because his father worked two jobs) and to the fact that his father died young.

It was interesting to read about the link the Crystals had with the Jazz scene. They knew people like Billie Holliday and Louis Armstrong and even had their own record label.

Good book. Also became a play. Recommended.
