About this title

Synopsis

A poignant coming-of-age story set in early 20th century Tsarist Russia, now in English for the first time.

In Ida Maze's Dineh, a young Jewish girl navigates the complexities of family, faith, and tradition in a world on the brink of change. Growing up in a rural village, Dineh yearns for knowledge and understanding, but faces the constraints of a patriarchal society and the rising tide of anti-Semitism.

As Dineh grapples with loss, love, and the stirrings of revolution, she must find her own path amidst the turmoil. Will she be able to preserve her cultural identity and find happiness in a world that seems determined to tear her apart? A story of resilience, hope, and the enduring power of the human spirit, perfect for readers of historical fiction and Jewish literature.

About the Author

Born Hayeh Zukofsky in 1893 in the village of Ugli, White Russia (now Belarus), Ida Maze was an important figure in the world of Yiddish letters. After emigrating from White Russia, she lived briefly in New York City and then settled in Montreal. Maze’ s generosity was the stuff of legend. She helped refugee writers navigate the Canadian immigration system, edited the books of other poets, and advocated for writers in many ways. The doors of her home were always open, and many Yiddish writers gathered there. Ida Maze died in Montreal in 1962.
