Their mother, infamous in Israel, born of a well-to-do Boston background but no longer rich, is bound to a past that never quite dies. The buried history of this extraordinary--and very American--family comes to light unexpectedly when grandson Bert brings home as a wife the woman who, years ago, joined the family circle, then mysteriously disappeared.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTold with wit and deep acuity, \u003cem\u003eSunday Jews\u003c\/em\u003e is a tour de force from a writer whose fiction has justly been compared with that of Eudora Welty and Henry James, and whose ability to delineate our lives is unparalleled.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hortense Calisher","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":55253905768739,"sku":"9780156027458","price":24.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/2258\/5123\/files\/9780156027458.jpg?v=1781824021","url":"https:\/\/epicreads.com\/products\/sunday-jews","provider":"Epic Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
