Description
Sofka Dorn, matriarch of a prosperous German Jewish family living in England, rules her four children with an exacting hand. Her eldest son, Frederick, is a charismatic figure, admired by his mother and sister Betty for their charm and flirtatious nature. In contrast, Alfred and Mimi, the younger siblings, are steady and solitary, disappointing their mother's expectations of strength and boldness. As Sofka navigates her family's complex dynamics, she must confront the changing times and the paths that each of her children will take. This poignant exploration of family life reveals how the lives each person leads will shape them in ways even their mother could not have anticipated. With its nuanced portrayal of family relationships and the challenges faced by those living through significant social change, this novel offers a thought-provoking insight into the human experience.
