Excerpt from Forward From Babylon
A fear and a helpless rage seized the faces there, always only half seen in the gloom Of the kitchen. By day, beyond the bars which uselessly scowled against the small glass panes, the drab walls Of the house next door kept away everything but a dirty and dubious light. By night, the flare of the coal-gas jet distorted his father, Reb Monash, and his own feet on the fender, and the sofa into things of blurred, awkward lines.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, an autobiographical historical novel, opens in the years just before World War I. It follows Philip, the author's father, as his family escapes the pogroms of Russia to the poverty-stricken streets of Northern England. The author skillfully weaves Philip's memories, told by his father over the decades, into the narrative to create a rich and vivid tapestry of the lives of ordinary Jewish people caught in extraordinary circumstances. While it is ostensibly the story of one family, it is also a microcosm of a generation: the immigrant struggles, the assimilation into new cultures, the impact of war and revolution, the search for identity. The story offers a rare insight into the lives of working-class Jewish families at that time and the deep-rooted traditions that shaped their world.
