Henry Hollander, Bookseller has taken over the retail and wholesale distribution for North America of "From Here to Obscurity: A Novel," by Yoel Sherman. Orders should be sent to us directly for the time being.
From the cover copy: 'From Here to Obscurity' tells the story of the now lost Jewish East End of London through the eyes of Shulem, an immigrant from Poland, his wife Rivka, and Yulus, their EWnglish born youngest son. It takes us through the turbulent years in London from 1933 to 1945, through poverty, fascist incursions, evacuation and targeted war-time bombings by Hitler's luftwaffe that destroyed the infrastructure of this one time thriving East London Yiddish-speaking community, forcing its ultimate dispersion. Shulem's relatives are lost in the Holocaust and many of Yulu's friends are killed by the last German V-2 rocket to fall on London. Despite all this trauma, 'From Here to Obscurity' is an uplifting tale of human warmth, humour and solidarity in the midst of overwhelming global forces. Paperbound. ISBN 0-9540811-0-2.
