Children's Children

By: Maisie Mosco

From “the undisputed queen of her genre,” a family saga continuing the story of two Jewish families in northern England bonded by a history of hardship (The Jewish Chronicle). Shortly into the twentieth century, the Sandberg and Moritz families were thrown together in their adopted city of Manchester. Now, the grandchildren of those immigrants are on the cusp of adulthood and the cracks are starting to show. The family elders are outraged at how little their offspring appreciate the struggles they faced: the arrival in England, penniless, not speaking the language, the rise of Hitler and the horror of the Holocaust. Decades after their forbears arrived in the country, the young people care most of all about being like their friends, and having freedom to live their lives the way they choose. The divide has never been greater. Can the older generation move with the times in order to keep their families together? The third book in the Almonds and Raisins series from the international bestselling author Maisie Mosco, perfect for fans of Jessica Stirling and Emma Hornby.Praise for the writing of Maisie Mosco“Once in every generation or so a book comes along which lifts the curtain.” —The Guardian “Full of freshness and fascination.” —Manchester Evening News
