Struggling to learn a new language and cope with a different way of life in the United States, Rivke finds herself keeping a journal about the challenges and opportunities of this new land. In her attempt to find a new life as a Jewish immigrant in the US, Rivke shares the stories of losing her mother to a bombing in Lublin, jilting a fiancé who has made his way to Palestine, and a flirtatious relationship with an American \"allrightnik.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e In this fictionalized journal originally published in Yiddish, author Kadya Molodovsy provides keen insight into the day-to-day activities of the large immigrant Jewish community of New York. By depicting one woman's struggles as a Jewish refugee in the US during WWII, Molodovsky points readers to the social, political, and cultural tensions of that time and place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48666235142379,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":137.34,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780253040756-1.jpg?v=1785758292","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780253040756","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
