Beginning in the nineteenth century and continuing through to the present day, Cohen tracks his family’s story of repeated upheaval, four generations of wandering from pre-Shoah Lithuania to apartheid-era South Africa, and then to England, the United States, and Israel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of Cohen’s story is the powerful bond he had with his mother, the “girl” forced to travel far from home.
