Bubbe’s relationship with the city is complex & nothing is quite as she remembered it and she feels alienated and angry at the world around her. Benji, on the other hand, looks at the world, and his grandmother, with clear-eyed acceptance. As they wander the city, we catch glimpses of Bubbe’s childhood in Germany, her young adulthood in 1950s Brooklyn, and her relationships; first with a baker called Gershon, and later with successful Joe, Benji’s grandfather. Gradually we piece together snippets of Bubbe’s life, gaining an insight to some of the things that have formed her cantankerous personality. The journey culminates on the Lower East Side in a moving reunion between Rosa and Gershon, her first love. As the sun sets, Benji and his Bubbe walk home over the Williamsburg Bridge to make dinner. This is a powerful, affecting and deceptively simple story of Jewish identity, of generational divides, of the surmountability of difference and of a restless city and its inhabitants.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 190mmItem Weight: 470gAuthor: Ziggy HanaorIllustrator: Benjamin PhillipsContributor: Benjamin Phillips (Illustrated by)Genre: Children's ReferenceTopic: Manga, Children's BooksIntended Audience: Ages 9-12Release Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
