About this ebook
The world knows well the tale of Tevye, the beloved Jewish dairyman from the shtetl Anatevka of Tsarist Russia. In stories originally written by Sholem Aleichem and then made world-famous in the celebrated musical Fiddler on the Roof, Tevye, his wife Golde, and their five daughters dealt with the outside influences that were encroaching upon their humble lives. But what happened to those remarkable characters after the curtain fell?
In After Anatevka, Alexandra Silber picks up where Fiddler left off. Second-eldest daughter Hodel takes center stage as she attempts to join her Socialist-leaning fiancé Perchik to the outer reaches of a Siberian work camp. But before Hodel and Perchik can finally be together, they both face extraordinary hurdles and adversaries—both personal and political—attempting to keep them apart at all costs.
A love story set against a backdrop of some of the greatest violence in European history, After Anatevaka is a stunning conclusion to a tale that has gripped audiences around the globe for decades.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was not the feel good story that I was hoping for. "HOPE" is all that Hodel and Perchik have.
This is a story that creates a lot of emotion. I felt the bitter bitter cold. I gasp right out loud during some of the more gruesome scenes (there are a few). I felt the love between Hodel and Perchik. That love is what kept me going to the end.
Thanks to netgalley and Pegasus Books for this advanced readers copy.
