Reuben Sachs - A Sketch

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the Anglo-Jewish community in Bayswater, the novel follows Reuben Sachs, an ambitious man, and his partner Judith Quixano, who struggles with her social standing. Through their story, Levy critiques the superficial lives of contemporary women and challenges the romanticized depictions of Jews in literature. As a pioneering feminist voice, Levy's work reflects her unique perspectives shaped by her experiences as the first Jewish woman at Cambridge. This new edition includes a biography of the author by Richard Garnett.
