Description

Rosa Roshkin is just five years old when her family's life is brutally cut short in a devastating pogrom. With only a small suitcase of clothes and her father's violin to cling to, she is forced to leave behind everything she knows and embark on a journey that will take her across two World Wars, the creation of Israel, and the fall of the Berlin Wall. This epic generational novel explores the complexities of womanhood and the Judaeo-Scottish experience, tracing the lives of women across generations as they navigate displacement, identity, and the search for belonging. Jenni Daiches's masterful storytelling weaves together a powerful exploration of our shared humanity, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. As we follow Rosa and her family through the tumultuous decades of the 20th century, we are confronted with the difficult and urgent questions of how to find identity in displacement, and what it means to be a woman in a world torn apart by conflict and change.
