Family And Friends

Beschreibung

'Sofka gazes ahead with her family's future before her . . .' Sofka Dorn widowed matriarch of a prosperous German Jewish family living in England rules her four children with an exacting hand. Frederick the eldest son is a disgracefully charming 'ladies' man and like his flirtatious sister Betty is adored and indulged by his mother. Alfred and Mimi both steady and solitary are a disappointment to Sofka who values strength and boldness of spirit. But as their story unfolds it becomes clear that the lives each must live and the times each must endure will change them in ways even Sofka could never have imagined.
