The Five Books of Moses Lapinsky (Signed) - Tulchinsky, Karen X.

SIGNED BY KAREN X. TULCHINSKY on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; In 2003, a mild-mannered historian begins to jot down notes for a biography. The biography is to be of his father Sonny. As Moses buries himself in research, he is transported back to the pivotal events in his father's life ... including a sweltering Toronto night in August of 1933. In a novel crammed with humour, sorrow, folly, bravery and the richness of everyday life, Tulchinsky traces the remarkable fortunes of the Lapinsky family from the evening the Christie Pits riots through the Depression and World War II, and into the 1950s. An unforgettable depiction of four very different brothers struggling with ideals of loyalty and familial love in a world defined both by heartbreaking loss and jubilant possibility.
