Description
In 1930s New York City, a circle of immigrants finds solace in each other's company as they flee their troubled pasts. Egon Schneider, a successful Jewish doctor, escapes Germany to an uncertain future across the sea. As he settles into his new life, Egon forms strong bonds with fellow immigrants who share similar struggles and triumphs. From the terminally acerbic Meyer Leavitt to the headstrong Catrina Harty, each character's story is woven together to create a moving tapestry of hope and redemption. With its beautiful prose and unforgettable characters, this novel will resonate with anyone who has ever felt adrift and longed for home.
