Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - From the bustling streets of Odesa to the vibrant cities of London, Montreal, New York, and San Francisco's Jewish Fillmore District, Joan Moran's captivating historical memoir of her mother weaves a vivid portrait of one woman's quest for identity and freedom against the backdrop of a rapi…dly changing world. This story blends history and religion as it takes the reader through an engaging saga about what it means to deny one's Jewish identity.Suddenly Jewish is not just one woman's story - it's also the story of a family torn between tradition and rebellion and the secrets that shape their lives: Rose, the matriarch, Esther, her rebellious daughter, and Joan, Esther's daughter who learns the secrets of her family on the eve of her wedding.Meet Esther, a young Jewish woman struggling to find her place in the world. From her humble beginnings in 1911, she embarks on a journey in pursuit of reinvention. While living in the Fillmore, the Jewish district in San Francisco, Estelle embraces her new identity, changes her name to Estelle, and explores the dynamic landscapes of San Francisco in the 1920s, '30s, and '40. She ventures beyond the confines of her neighborhood, exploring the high-powered corridors of the Financial District, the secretive back alleys of the Tenderloin with its clandestine abortionists, the bohemian jazz clubs and speakeasies of North Beach. She falls madly in love and marries an Irish Catholic young man from the Mission District and begins a life that develops her skills and imagination. In the corners of her life, Estelle dodges the obvious antisemitism that lurks beneath San Francisco's sophisticated landscape and vows never blend into society. Estelle's daughter, Joan, comes of age. Even though raised a Catholic, through association, she feels an affinity for the Jewish people and their religion. When her mother finally reveals the true magnitude of her struggle, Joan must negotiate her emotional response to her mother's secret and her new identity as she marries a young man who is Jewish fresh out of law school. Joan's new husband tells her they are moving to Las Vegas. Upset that this newly married couple will leave Berkeley for a town mired in the fringes of mafia influence, Joan confronts her husband for the real reason he is not willing to practice law in San Francisco. 'Jews don't make partner,' he tells his new wife. 'I'll never be able to get to the top. In Las Vegas, I know people, worked in the DA's office, and can be a big fish in a small pond.'The Las Vegas Jewish community was thriving. Joan and her husband also caught the wave of success. They made the most of their new life. They had two boys, and with both sets of parents moving to Las Vegas, the family embraced their Jewish identity. In time, with persistence and honesty, Estelle made her peace with being Jewish.
