Almonds and Raisins
by Maisie Mosco
A powerful and uplifting saga of love, pride – and Jewish tradition struggling to survive a hostile world... The families are as different as night and day. The outgoing Sandbergs are from Russia. The bookish Moritzes are from Austria. They meet in England before the First World War and form a strong, fiery friendship that would shape the destinies of three generations. From Great War to Depression, from sweatshops to mansions, through times of love, faith, and betrayal they pour their sweat, blood and very lives into one golden dream: their beloved children, their everlasting future...
