"The Manor and The Estate - combined in this one-volume edition - tell the bold tale of Polish Jews in the latter half of the nineteenth century, a time of rapid industrial growth and radical social change that enabled the Jewish community to move from the ghetto to prominent positions within Polish society."--Jacket.

I liked this book. I could see why it was split into 2 books- it is a dense story with lots of characters and places and events, and after a while the different characters do tend to get easily muddled and confusing. Keeping track of which children were whose, and who married whom, and which characters knew each other or liked each other was tough, and a notepad might have been a useful reading aide for this book. I may reread it later, since I know I missed a few things towards the middle and not all of the family drama after that made much sense as a result. Also, I don't know a lot about Polish history, so I missed references to what was going on outside the family's dramas. Still, this was a good book, well written and well-translated, and worth reading in its entirety. It brings up all sorts of questions and ideas about identity, belief, and tradition, and shows an interesting side of Poland, the Orthodox Jewish community, that is a bit different from what I usually think of when I think about Poland.
