"Rosenfarb follows the destinies of characters from several walks of life in the shtetl. Her primary characters are the scribe's widow Hindele, her son Yacov, the chalk vendor Yossele Abedale, and his daughter Binele. Jewish relations with neighboring Catholics are generally civil, if complicated. Despite living next door to a convent, Hindele finds the nuns' behavior implacably alien.".
"Her characters and portrait of the preurban, pre-Holocaust world ring true. Yet even in isolated Bociany, new ideas - socialism, Zionism, Polish nationalism, secularism - began to challenge the shtetl's traditional agrarian and mercantile economy."--BOOK JACKET.
