Summary
The late Nobelist's masterpiece takes a candid look into the lives of Holocaust survivors during the late forties. Set in New York City, Shadow on the Hudson, volume 4, the fourth in a four volume audio book series, draws us into the intertwined lives of a circle prosperous Jewish refugees. At the center is Boris Makaver, a pious and wealthy businessman. His greatest trial is his daughter, Anna. Unhappy in her current marriage, she plans to escape with Hertz Grien, a man torn between ascetic yearnings and romantic entanglements. From Makaver's gloomy upper West Side apartment to the pastel resorts of Miami--amid family quarrels, zealous religious debates, crooked séances, and a myriad of affairs and marriages--Singer weaves a rich tapestry of American Jewry. Despite the characters' fervent and often ironic attempts to decipher life's enigmas, their questions remain, for the most part, unanswered. This darkest of Singer's tragicomic novels was originally serialized in the Yiddish language publication, Forward, in the fifties
