The account of the troubled years between follows the interlocking destinies of the Glickmans and the shapes each of their lives assumes. Avrom's sons, Meyer and Benjamin, become wealthy in South Africa. At the end of their lives Benjamin and his wife retire to Eretz Israel. The younger generation passes through turbulent university years, falls in and out of love, lines up in action for and against different groups and ideologies, deplores the provincialism of their surroundings, spins farther and farther from the family orbit.ISBN: 0297173871SKU: 0808110209Visit my eCRATER Store for other great books and save on shipping!
