Samenvatting
A landmark Yiddish novel of love, betrayal, and social expectations in early 20th-century America.
Celia Dropkin's Desires explores the tumultuous marriage of Sam and Shirley Elkin, shaken by the death of their son and a long-held secret. When Shirley confesses to a past infidelity, their world unravels, revealing a web of jealousy, longing, and societal pressures.
As Sam grapples with betrayal and Shirley confronts her desires, their story becomes a poignant exploration of human nature. Translated by Anita Norich, this rediscovered gem of Yiddish literature offers a powerful glimpse into the lives of Jewish immigrants navigating love, loss, and the complexities of identity in a changing world. Perfect for readers of literary fiction, historical sagas, and stories of complex relationships.
