Reviews
"[ Among the Living ] vividly reveals the complex texture of Savannah's thriving Jewish community, its diversity as well as its heroism, but also the clash between Reform and Conservative Jews and the lingering prejudice against African Americans. This stirring, powerful novel never sugarcoats its themes or characters; what emerges is a hard-won realism and a compelling look at one corner of the postwar world." - Booklist "In this amazing novel full of plot twists, Rabb examines true love, fair treatment to people of all races, how to practice honorable journalism, and what it means to be truly alive." -- Library Journal "Rabb is an accomplished storyteller with an eye for telling detail and for dialogue." -- Kirkus "Jonathan Rabb is one of my favorite writers, a highly gifted heart-wise storyteller if ever there was one. From its first pages, Among the Living carries you into a particular time and setting, and into the lives of people with whom you are entirely unfamiliar and holds you there with a story that will almost certainly stay with you for years to come. What a powerful, moving book." --David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom "A sensitive and well-observed journey that brings the texture and spirit of its era vividly to life. Rabb's humanistic gaze places Among the Living among the timeless American stories about identity." --Geoffrey Fletcher, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Precious " Among the Living is a beautifully written and immensely readable love story. Jonathan Rabb has created an original and penetrating study of Judaism in the deep south and the many forms it takes." --Alfred Uhry, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Driving Miss Daisy "With a delicate but sure touch, Jonathan Rabb delves into questions of racial identity, religious expression, and cultural assimilation. His is a nuanced and evocative novel, no less readable for its rich complexity." --Christina Baker Kline, best-selling author of Orphan Train " Among the Living contains multitudes. It's wry and moving, lyrical and direct, historical and timely, Jewish and (above all) American. It's the best book I've read in a while." --Darin Strauss, author of Half a Life , winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography "An insightful and evocative antidote to nostalgia about the 'good old days' of America's post-World War II era." --Mary Doria Russell, author of The Sparrow , A Thread of Grace , and Epitaph, "An insightful and evocative antidote to nostalgia about the 'good old days' of America's post-World War II era." --Mary Doria Russell, author of The Sparrow , A Thread of Grace , and Epitaph

Synopsis
Set amid the backdrop of America's post-war south, Among The Living grapples with questions of identity and belonging, and steps beyond the Jewish experience as it situates Yitzhak Goldah's story during the last gasp of the Jim Crow era. Yitzhak begins to find echoes of his own experience in the lives of the black family who work for the Jeslers - an affinity he does not share with the Jeslers themselves. This realisation both surprises and convinces Yitzhak that his choices are not as clear-cut as he might have thought., "Jonathan Rabb is one of my favorite writers, a highly gifted, heart-wise storyteller if ever there was one. What a powerful, moving book." --David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author A moving novel about a Holocaust survivor's unconventional journey back to a new normal in 1940s Savannah, Georgia In late summer 1947, thirty-one-year-old Yitzhak Goldah, a camp survivor, arrives in Savannah to live with his only remaining relatives. They are Abe and Pearl Jesler, older, childless, and an integral part of the thriving Jewish community that has been in Georgia since the founding of the colony. There, Yitzhak discovers a fractured world, where Reform and Conservative Jews live separate lives-distinctions, to him, that are meaningless given what he has been through. He further complicates things when, much to the Jeslers' dismay, he falls in love with Eva, a young widow within the Reform community. When a woman from Yitzhak's past suddenly appears-one who is even more shattered by the war than he is-Yitzhak must choose between a dark and tortured familiarity and the promise of a bright new life. Set amid the backdrop of America's postwar south, Among the Living grapples with questions of identity and belonging, and steps beyond the Jewish experience as it situates Yitzhak's story within the last gasp of the Jim Crow era. That he begins to find echoes of his recent past in the lives of the black family who work for the Jeslers-an affinity he does not share with the Jeslers themselves-both surprises and convinces Yitzhak that his choices are not as clear-cut as he might think.
