The Honey and Vinegar Tree

Barbara Kelsch

4.9/5 (33956 ratings)

Description:In The Honey and Vinegar Tree, the essence of the individual experience during the European migration has been captured. The story of Anna Kosovich could indeed be the story of any woman who found herself chattel, bound to an errant husband by one fateful vow, early in twentieth century Europe. Anna is the collective image of that tired woman, old before her years, standing in line on Ellis Island, waiting to be counted, waiting for the door to open to the pencil sketch of promise. Anna attempts to rebuild the "old country" within the new. It is only when tragedy strikes that she discovers the rebellion within herself that will set her free. Dividing her life between obedience to her husband and a new love, she becomes a keeper of guilty secrets. Her story unfolds and becomes one worth discovering... unexpected details and events to be uncovered by Anna's children. Kelsch’s own Ukrainian/Polish ancestry has given her a tender view of what was, and what might have been, in the country of her heritage. One can only speculate as to the challenge such an immigration presented to the human psyche, as wives and mothers left their beloved families and embarked on a stringent, merciless journey. Anna is a picture of timidity and grit, of subjugation and quiet rebellion. She is a picture of a woman who made the uneasy journey.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
