About the book
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.
