Reviews
Tales have become a thing of a global sensation, especially among young individuals over the years, although it is not limited to only this age group. Stanislas M. Yassukovich's book titled A Cape Town Decameron helps adults relive the benefits and joy attributed to storytelling.

What makes M. Yassukovich's book particularly poignant is that despite revolution, upheaval and separation, families that had once thought to have been obliterated can, like acorns from a mighty oak, come to life once again.
The fortunes of the family in Europe and Russia are told in a poignantly detailed, gripping fashion by Mr. Yassukovich, coincidentally a writer of fiction.
