More about the book

Set in London's East End, the narrative explores the lives of immigrant Jews navigating their new environment in the Yiddish-speaking community around Petticoat Lane. Zangwill offers a nuanced portrayal of their struggles and resilience, contrasting the often bleak depictions by social reformers with a blend of affectionate honesty and humor. The book captures the vibrant yet challenging aspects of their daily lives, making it a significant reflection on identity and community. An introduction by Bob Biderman adds historical context to this insightful work.
