Immigrant Lessons is the story of two women, forty years apart, crossing the sea to the shores of their promised land – one fleeing Hitler, the other pursuing her spirituality – and finding gain as well as loss in the transition. With unusual candor and insight, this warm, lively, and at times laugh-out-loud funny book explores in rich color the rewards and challenges of immigration and family relationships. Part memoir, part lyrical prose poem, Judith Edelman-Green’s fluid tale of dislocationand change, enrichment, growth, and just plain survival will appeal to anyone who has ever been displaced, by circumstance or by choice.
