Synopsis

What if Charles Lindbergh, not FDR, won the 1940 presidential election? Philip Roth's novel imagines this alternate reality, exploring how the rise of antisemitism reshaped American life for Jewish families like his own. Told through the eyes of a young boy, it's a story of growing up amidst political upheaval and fear.
