My Grandmother's Stories: A Collection of Jewish Folk Tales - Adele Geras - Hardcover

"Like all good stories in the Yiddish tradition, the pleasure of Geras' collection comes as much from the telling as from what happens. These are stories within stories: the narrator remembers herself as a young child hearing them from her grandmother, as they cooked, hung up laundry, prepared for the Sabbath, or cleaned house for Passover. This framing of the stories emphasizes their continuing pleasure across generations; and customs, idioms, traditions, even recipes that the Jews brought with them from Eastern Europe are an unobtrusive part of the telling."--"Booklist," StarredGeras, Adele is the author of 'My Grandmother's Stories: A Collection of Jewish Folk Tales - Adele Geras - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780679909101 and ISBN 0679909109.
