Description
In this wry and compassionate collection of linked stories, Russian-Jewish immigrants navigate the bewildering promises and contradictions of life in America. Across apartments, neighborhoods, family gatherings, and everyday encounters, an unforgettable cast struggles to balance old-world traditions with the pressures of assimilation and the search for belonging. Ellen Litman brings humor, tenderness, and sharp social observation to stories about displacement, identity, family, and the unpredictable ways people remake themselves in a new world.
