Publisher Description: VYSE AVENUE is an epic novel, sparkling with wit, humor and pathos that brings to life the saga of a Jewish family in the Bronx during the Great Depression, World War II and the creation of Israel. Among the memorable characters brought together in this richly textured work are: Gittel, who leaves her home in Poland and comes to New York at age 18, to start a new life; Breina, a brilliant daughter of a rabbi, who struggles to take her place among the scholars; and Sol, idealistic and conflicted, who begins a long and challenging journey to claim his faith. These memorable personalities illuminate an exciting and tempestuous world that will touch your heart. |
