Children's Children

Résumé du livre

Shortly into the twentieth century, the Sandberg and Moritz families were thrown together in their adopted city of Manchester. Now, the grandchildren of those immigrants are on the cusp of adulthood and the cracks are starting to show. The family elders are outraged at how little their offspring appreciate the struggles they faced: the arrival in England, penniless, not speaking the language, the rise of Hitler and the horror of the Holocaust. As the 1960s reach full swing, the young people care about being like their friends and being free to live their lives. The divide has never been greater. Can the older generation move with the times in order to keep their families together?
