Description

Beyond the Pale A Novel by Elana Dykewomon is a moving story set in Russia and New York during the early twentieth century. Born in a Russian-Jewish settlement, Gutke Gurvich immigrates to America with her partner, while Chava Meyer, a girl who was attended by Gutke at birth, comes to America with the family of her cousin Rose. As they live through the oppression and tragedies of their time, Chava and Rose grow to become lovers and search for a community they can truly call their own. Their story is deeply rooted in the hallmarks of the Progressive Era, including the Women's Trade Union League, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911, anarchist and socialist movements, women's suffrage, and anti-Semitism. Elana Dykewomon's richly detailed novel offers a glimpse into a world that is often overlooked. A wonderful novel, Beyond the Pale is a powerful exploration of identity, community, and the struggles faced by those on the margins of society.
