No More Tears Eva Abbo

This traditional saga sets out an emotional parallel between its characters over time and two continents, following them through economic difficulties, separation, and despair to finally arrive at a life of acceptance and freedom, while giving the reader a window into the culture and beliefs of a people persecuted and denigrated by Nazism. It traces the story of the survival of an admirable woman, mother of seven children, facing the hardship of an absent husband, life's adversities and an imminent war. It follows the family through their difficult adaptation to a different life, full of the unknown, and the slow process of integration of these immigrants into a new language and customs. The birth of the new generation, able to take root in this fertile new land that provides for their needs, at last gives rise to the culmination of the family's dream of equality and allows them to participate creatively in their new world.
