✦ Synopsis

Crammed with humour, sorrow, folly, bravery and the richness of the everyday, Tulchinsky's fictional treatment of the Lapinsky family and its remarkable fortunes--through the pivotal moment of the 1933 Toronto race riot, the Great Depression, the rise of fascism and its attendant social tensions, World War II, and the post-war era--brings to life the character of an entire community.|

Explores the life of one immigrant Jewish family, from early 1933, through the war years and into the early 1950s.
