The collection opens in a spotless cottage off a dismal Liverpool alley and ranges from English domestic tales of family duty and affection to historical stories set further afield: Spanish Jews in the age of Ferdinand and Isabella, ‘Amête and Yaféh’, ‘The Fugitive’, and ‘The Stone-Cutter’s Boy of Possagno’, about the young Canova.
Gathered after her early death, these stories show the range of an important Anglo-Jewish writer of the 1840s. Download the free EPUB.
