Description

Elsie Levy was born in the Jewish East End of London, came to Sydney with her family when she was 14, and joined the Communist Party of Australia when she was a young woman.

In this book, her son explores her disaporic Jewish identity, both English and Australian, and in the process journeys into Jewish cultural histories.

We meet important cultural figures such as Leonard Woolf, Freud, Schnitzler, Veza Canetti and Ida Rubinstein.

This journey leads also to English anti-Semitism, including, shockingly, Bloomsbury.

In turning to Communism and marrying out, Elsie Levy became one of history's undutiful daughters.
