The Book Of Israel Paperback / softback
by Jeremy Gavron
Paperback / softback
Description
Dunsk, Lithuania, 1874: brought home dying from the mill, an old man leaves his new grandson the only thing of value he owns - his name.
In one Jewish family, the forename Israel is handed down from generation to generation.
But as parts of the family move across the world - beginning in Lithuania at the end of the 19th century and finishing in London at the beginning of the 21st - different Israels in different countries have very different relationships with the name and the weighty expectations it represents.
