Maisie Mosco

Decades after fleeing hardships in Russia, a Jewish family faces troubles as Europe sits on the brink of World War II in this emotional saga.

 Thirty years have passed since the Sandberg family arrived in Manchester, penniless and bewildered, after fleeing certain death in Russia. Sarah and Abraham’s children have forgotten the poverty and struggles of their youth, and their grandchildren have never known such hardship. 

 But the prosperity that has come with their adopted country has brought other problems. 

 Sons David and Nathan have to face the strains of their arranged marriages and feeling increasingly at odds with the mood of the nation. The year is 1935, and while Hitler rules in Germany the Fascists are marching in England . . . Can the Sandbergs keep hold of all they fought so hard for? 

The second book in the much-loved Almonds and Raisins series from international bestselling author Maisie Mosco, perfect for fans of Sheelagh Kelly and Jessica Stirling.

A family’s survival depends on their unbreakable bond. First in the trilogy of new beginnings and lasting dreams from the “undisputed queen of her genre” (The Jewish Chronicle).

 As the two families become increasingly intertwined, it is eldest son David who finds the culture of his new country encourages him to rebel against his mother’s wishes.

From “the undisputed queen of her genre,” a family saga continuing the story of two Jewish families in northern England bonded by a history of hardship (The Jewish Chronicle).
 
 Shortly into the twentieth century, the Sandberg and Moritz families were thrown together in their adopted city of Manchester. Now, the grandchildren of those immigrants are on the cusp of adulthood and the cracks are starting to show. The family elders are outraged at how little their offspring appreciate the struggles they faced: the arrival in England, penniless, not speaking the language, the rise of Hitler and the horror of the Holocaust.
 Decades after their forbears arrived in the country, the young people care most of all about being like their friends, and having freedom to live their lives the way they choose. The divide has never been greater. Can the older generation move with the times in order to keep their families together?
