Riassunto

A rabbi in rural Lithuania,Heshel Melamed made one great gift to his children: he died at 51, prompting all of them to leave for South Africa and thereby escaping the Nazio holocaust. Jacobson tells the amazing story of the rabbi and his family, andfinally goes in search of the village in Lithuania where the story begins. "A seamless and tautly written narrative ... a work of art" - John Gross, Sunday Telegraph "Marvellously sensitive, observant, scrupulously honest and intensely autobiographical" - David Vital, TLS
