Description:... Simon Blumenfeld's acclaimed second novel follows the struggles of a Jewish merchant's son, Phineas Kahn, as he makes his escape from the confines of Tsarist Russia to Vienna and then London in 1900, where he settles to raise a large family in the liberating atmosphere but desperate poverty of the East End.
