This enthralling book starts :(chapter title,"And Lost There, A Golden Feather in a Foreign Land,")- 'It is always like this: 'The best parties are made by people in trouble...' and carries you on a whirlwind adventure of what it is like to be Jewish in Russia in the early 1920's and to lose your family to a bloodthirsty barrage in a minute in your own home. A haunting yet witty tale of love vs. loss, and desire vs. survival. Amy Bloom deftly steers us on a passionate odyssey as Lillian Leyb discovers that her daughter Sophie may be alive in Siberia, only after Lillian has immigrated to the Yiddish Theatre District on N.Y.'s Lower East Side.Our determined, impoverished heroine travels to the ends of the Earth reinventing herself as each unexpected situation arises with a mother's love aching in her heart.Lillian endures degradation and countless setbacks drawing on her inner strength. You turn pages quickly as the tension of her fight against time and geography set her emotional compass.Bloom's impressive attention to period detail is fantastic. Bravo!
