Book
Loving Liberty Levine
First published 2019
New York, 1913. Micha Levine arrives from the Russian Empire with a wife, little money and a determination to build a secure American life. Work, marriage and the pressures of assimilation gradually shape a family whose ambitions are tested by poverty, prejudice and secrets carried from Europe.
The story follows the Levines through the First World War, the unstable interwar decades and the Second World War, moving between New York and the Baltic world they left behind. Liberty becomes both a daughter's name and a disputed ideal as each generation decides what success requires them to remember or conceal.
