Almost Family: 30th Anniversary Edition - Brossura
The complex friendship between a black housekeeper and her Jewish employer is the focus of this special 30th anniversary edition of Almost Family, Roy Hoffman's prize-winning novel about life in the civil rights era South.Nebraska Waters is black; Vivian Gold is Jewish. In an Alabama kitchen where, for nearly thirty years, they share cups of coffee, fret over their children, and watch the civil rights movement unfold on the TV screen and out their window, they are like family - almost. As Nebraska makes her way, day in and day out, to Vivian's home where she cooks and helps tend the Gold children, the bond between the women both strengthens and frays. The "almost" threatens to widen into a great divide. The two women's husbands affect their relationship, as do their children. This is particularly true of the youngest children, Viv Waters and Benjamin Gold, who, born the same year, are coming of age in a changing South.
