It is May 2014, and Dr. Klara Lieberman—forty-nine, single, professor of archaeology at a small liberal arts college in Maine, a contained person living a contained life—has just received a letter from her estranged mother, Bessie, that will dramatically change her life. Her father, she learns—the man who has been absent from her life for the last forty-three years, and about whom she has long been desperate for information—is dead. Has been for many years, in fact, which Bessie clearly knew.

Magnificent History, Stellar Narration
Revisado: 11-17-24
Klara believed her father had abandoned her in childhood. A journey to Poland, as an adult, proved otherwise. Klara's mother sent her on a mission to claim the reparations promised by the Polish government to families of Jewish victims of the holocaust. Klara went with an intention much dearer to her heart. Be prepared to cry, cheer, rage, laugh and more as Klara delves into her ancestry, uncovers secrets and finds love.
The story is masterfully performed, as well. Thanks to the narrator, the story, sometimes heavy with history accounts, remains engaging and impactful. In the voicing, we hear the transition to a foreign country and an unfamiliar language and customs and we feel the depth of emotion through the highs, the lows and everything in between.
Great read! Highly recommend it!

When Ida and her daughter Bessie flee a catastrophic pogrom in Ukraine for America in 1905, they believe their emigration will ensure that their children and grandchildren will be safe from harm. But choices and decisions made by one generation have ripple effects on those who come later, and in the decades that follow, family secrets, betrayals, and mistakes made in the name of love threaten the survival of the family.

Hold Fast to Family, History and Culture - Immigration is Not For the Faint of Heart
Revisado: 12-14-23
How To Make A Life takes us into the lives of an immigrant family who sought refuge and the hope of a better life in America, after surviving horrific murders and torment in their homeland. Chapters move us along the journey, giving us dates and locations, as members, marry, move away, and live life in the new country. Through it all, there's constant emphasis on the familial bond, history and cultural roots. I like the fact that, the author did not sugarcoat the family's history. but allowed the characters to be real and vulnerable in their pain and in their joy. The narrator, Justine Reiss, did a phenomenal job of bringing each character to life and making them so personable. Her performance truly touched my heart and made the scenes more vivid and memorable. I highly recommend this audiobook.
