About This Item
New York:: Farrar, Straus & Giroux,, (2013). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. "One evening in May 1948, my mother went to a party in New York with her first husband and left it with her second, my father. So begins the passionate and stormy union of Mikhail Kamenetzki, aka Ugo Stille, one of Italy's most celebrated journalists, and Elizabeth Bogert, a beautiful and charming young woman from the Midwest. Their immediate attraction and tumultuous marriage is part of a much larger story: the mass migration of Jews from fascist-dominated Europe in the 1930s and in the shadow of World War II. It is the story of a crucial, painful moment in history that reshaped much of American culture and society--but also that of two seemingly incongruous people who managed to find love." 376 pp. Review copy with publisher's material laid in.
