A Fine September Morning [Hardcover]

In 1905 Russia, Avi Schneider shoots a man, flees to America and, with his wife Sara, lives the Jewish immigrant's dream. His beloved brother Lieb stays behind and lives the nightmare of the Bolshevik revolution, civil war, typhus, and famine. Still Lieb refuses Avi's pleas to leave Russia. Then on the eve of World War II, Stalin's pathological purges finally ensnare Lieb's family. At last he realizes he must escape the Communist nightmare, but now all avenues are blocked, and Hitler's armies are gathering. He turns to Avi, his brother in America, who frantically tries to rescue Lieb and his family with no more to work with than his own wit. A Fine September Morning blends historic facts and fictional characters. It continues the epic family saga begun in Fleishman's successful debut novel, Goliath's Head.
