Andrew Gross delivers a stirring story of a Jewish family brought together in the dawn of the women's garment business and torn apart by the birth of organized crime in New York City in the 1930s. Morris, Sol, and Harry Rabishevsky grew up poor and rough in a tiny flat on the Lower East Side, until the death of their father thrust them into having to fend for themselves. Morris, the youngest, dropped out of school at 12 and apprenticed himself to a garment cutter in a clothing factory; Sol headed to accounting school; but Harry, scarred by a family tragedy, fell in with a gang of thugs as a teenager.

FABULOUS! I didn't want it to end!!

I loved everything about this book. I loved the plot, the time-period, the characters, and I really loved the narration.
In my experience, it is difficult to find an audiobook where the narrator's character/accent changes don't interrupt your immersion in the story, but I did not have that issue here! Edoardo Ballerini's performance was wonderful!
I couldn't get enough of this story! I got through it within a few days and didn't want it to end. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of the tv series Boardwalk Empire or The Sopranos; fans of the podcast "Mafia" (if you've never listened - check it out!!); or anyone generally interested in mob history or NYC during the 1930's. It's a beautiful story with compelling characters. I was rooting for Morris to succeed the whole time!
Thank you, Andrew Gross, for such a fantastic novel!
