This riveting, poetically written narrative swiftly immersed me in the Russian Jewish world of 19th century pogroms, threats and danger. Their beautiful Jewish faith, their forced poverty and neglect by a so-called Christian Russia shocked me. I can’t wait to see how the daughter who fled Russia fares in America.
