Joseph Shapiro, a Polish Jew, flees his country in 1939 and travels across Europe until he lands in Russia in 1945, where he reunites with Celia. His journey is also a spiritual one: between the past and modernity, he seeks to understand his Jewish identity and attain faith.

For readers of literary and historical fiction interested in Jewish identity, faith, and the twentieth century.
