Description

In the vibrant city of Philadelphia at the end of Prohibition, Leyb's life is forever changed by a chance encounter with Charles at Cricket's speakeasy. Despite being surrounded by unfamiliar faces, Charles speaks to Leyb in his native Yiddish, sparking a connection that will have far-reaching consequences.

Leyb's past is marked by tragedy and loss, particularly the devastating pogrom that took the lives of his family and friends back in his village of Zatelsk. Years later, he finds himself haunted by memories of this traumatic event, until Gittl, a young woman from his village, appears in Philadelphia, accompanied by the spirits of her deceased siblings.

This powerful and poignant novel explores themes of identity, community, and the enduring power of memory and language.
