More about the book

Set against the backdrop of 1950s Los Angeles and transitioning to 2000, the narrative follows Richard Jacobi, a successful painter reflecting on his family's legacy, particularly the impact of his father's death on their lives. Through five narratives, Richard explores his self-awareness and the dynamics within the Jacobi family, while also addressing broader themes of Jewish and African-American experiences in post-World War II America. The novel vividly captures the essence of Southern California before its transformation due to mass migration.
