Book Description
In this novel for young teens, Nathan Kravetz tells the story of Mark Lerner, a Jewish boy who lived in what was once the Soviet Union. Marks father, an engineer with a strong devotion to his family, his faith, and to freedom, has asked permission for them to leave for Israel. For this hostile act against the strict authoritarian government, Alexander Lerner has been put into prison. The Soviet government has refused his request to emigrate. He is, along with many other Jews, now a refusenik. Then, at a brief time of relaxed rules, the Soviet authorities permit Mark and his mother to emigrate. They look forward to going to Israel and to wait there for Alexander Lerners release from prison. This story takes the reader from Moscow with Mark and his mother to their experiences after leaving the country. Marks adventures, though fiction, are based on actual events. They did happen.

Book Description
This “profoundly erotic, profoundly compelling” (The Los Angeles Times) account of an American student’s adventures in Russia is a classic revelation of her eternal qualities. The unforgettable cast of characters is led by his beautiful, capricious girlfriend and a supreme hedonist who has been called The Russian Falstaff. Submerged in the supposedly puritan country’s private devotion to food, drink, sex, and despair, the narrator, a London reviewer found, “seems to catch the soul of the Soviet citizen.” “Feifer is possibly unique,” a second London critic delighted, “for having written a book with several layers of brilliance.”
