Set in New York in 1914, 14-year-old Ira Stigman and his extended family must contend with the impact of war on themselves and their homelands. But Ira has other issues to contend with - sexuality, the racism of his peers, a bullying and failed father, and the search for his own identity.
About the Author
In 1994 Henry Roth broke his sixty-year literary silence following his classic novel CALL IT SLEEP, with the publication of volume one of MERCY OF A RUDE STREAM, called A STAR SHINES OVER MT. MORRIS PARK. This four-volume series was hailed as unsurpassable in the annals of twentieth-century American literature. Henry Roth died aged 89 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in October 1995.
