Description
A remarkable true story of survival and resilience, The Russian Tailor of Belfast tells the tale of Philip Lepar Leopold, a seventeen-year-old immigrant who defied the odds to build a new life in Belfast. Against the backdrop of industrial revolution and turmoil, he found success and happiness in the tailoring trade, and his family grew and thrived. This heartwarming and often challenging story is now shared by his great-granddaughter, Geraldine, who has gathered a precious collection of photographs to accompany her account.
