About this listen

This timeless saga traces the intertwined lives of a group of prosperous Jewish Holocaust survivors in New York City after World War II. A chain of events disrupts the close-knit community as each refugee struggles to reconcile the horrific past with the difficult present and explores both the nature of faith and the nature of love.

Marriages and affairs fall apart; age and death take their toll; the wisdom of the scripture and kabbalah and the precepts of the great philosophers and avatars of modern science are passionately debated in extended conversations that seethe with drama.

From gloomy Upper West Side apartments to the Yiddish resorts of Miami, Shadows on the Hudson covers the territory of American Jewry in the aftermath of the Holocaust, providing insight into the contradictory impulses that motivate us all.

Very long time ago I read this book in Polish now 25 years later I heard the English version, it is an excellent book about philosophy, pychology, religion and identity crisis of Jews who after the Holocaust moved to the new place and now struggle to adjust and assimilate in USA as well as deal with trauma of the past. The book takes me back to Poland described as before the WWII.

excellent book
