Kaaterskill Falls
by Allegra Goodman
In the summer of 76, the Shulmans and the Melishes migrate to Kaaterskill, the tiny town in upstate New York where Orthodox Jews and Yankee year-rounders live side by side from June through August. Elizabeth Shulman, a devout follower of Rav Elijah Kirshner and the mother of five daughters, is restless. She needs a project of her own, outside her family and her cloistered community. Across the street, Andras Melish is drawn to Kaaterskill by his adoring older sisters, bound to him by their loss and wrenching escape from the Holocaust. Both comforted and crippled by his sisters' love, Andras cannot overcome the ambivalence he feels toward his children and his own beautiful wife. At the top of the hill, Rav Kirshner is coming to the end of his life, and he struggles to decide which of his sons should succeed him: the pious but stolid Isaiah, or the brilliant but worldly Jeremy. Behind the scenes, alarmed as his beloved Kaaterskill is overdeveloped by Michael King, the local real estate broker, Judge Miles Taylor keeps an old secret in check, biding his time....
Mazel
by Rebecca Goldstein
Winner of the National Jewish Book Award, Mazel tells a richly romantic story about luck and love in the lives of three generations of Jewish women: Sasha, a rabbi's daughter who leaves the shtetl to become the star of the Yiddish stage; Chloe, a freethinker of the 1960s; and Phoebe, a mathematician of the '90s whose choices surprise and baffle her grandmother, Sasha.
From Bondage
by Henry Roth
Written in the last year of his life, From Bondage presents Henry Roth's most powerful novel ever. Capturing the dizzying vitality of the 1920s and the literary world of Manhattan, Roth sets the stage for one of the most memorable literary romances of this century, the story of a young man's love affair with his professor.

THE GRANDMOTHER'S CLUB
ALAN CHEUSE
GIBBS M. SMITH, 1986, 1986-08. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Hard Cover. Good/Good. Ex-Library. ISBN:0-87905-253-8. 326 PAGES This is Minnie Bloch's story, as told in her twilight yearsover coffee in a shopping mall or during supper served in her apartmentto her friends Mrs. Pinsker and Mrs. Stellberg. Mostly it is about Manny, her son Emmanuel, who was a little boy when his father was killed while selling vegetables from a cart on the Lower East Side on a Sabbath. She tells how Manny's hair turned white in a single afternoon in his 17th year, when he heard his father's voice speak from a white bird flying over the tenement rooftops. About how he went to Cincinnati to study to be a rabbi, then married the daughter of his benefactor. She tells her friends, who are mothers and grandmothers too and so can understand, how her daughter-in-law lost her private sorrow in the emptiness of drink, and how Manny found some happiness with Florette, a survivor of the Holocaust. Minnie's eyesight fails over the years she tells her tale until in the end, nearly blind, she lies in a nursing home, explaining her granddaughter Sarah's confusion when Manny left the congregation for business and how Sarah's resentment grew as her father's fortunes did, and finally was the cause of his downfall. Minnie's story overflows with compassion and a profound sadness. Told in language that is earthy, lyrical and never false, it is as deep and powerful and lasting as her wisdom.
