Janet Wolff?s fascinating volume is a family history ? but one that is digressive and consistently surprising. The central underlying and repeated themes of the book are exile and displacement; lives (and deaths) during the Third Reich; mother-daughter and sibling relationships; the generational transmission of trauma and experience; transatlantic reflections; and the struggle for creative expression. Stories mobilised, and people encountered, in the course of the narrative include: the internment of aliens in Britain during the Second World War; cultural life in Rochester, New York, in the 1920s; the social and personal meanings of colour(s); the industrialist and philanthropist, Henry Simon of Manchester, including his relationship with the Norwegian explorer, Fridtjof Nansen; the liberal British campaigner and MP of the 1940s, Eleanor Rathbone; reflections on the lives and images of spinsters. The text is supplemented and interrupted throughout by images (photographs, paintings, facsimile documents), some of which serve to illustrate the story, others engaging indirectly with the written word." 606 $aArt critics$zEngland$zManchester 606 $aArt and society 606 $aJews$xSocial conditions$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aJewish families$vBiography 606 $aJewish families$zEngland 607 $aEngland$zManchester$2fast 610 0$asecond world war 610 5$amanchester 610 5$auk 610 0$aspinsters 610 0$aexile 610 0$adisplacement 610 1$ahenry simon of manchester 610 1$aeleanor rathbone 610 0$athird reich 610 0$aart 610 1$afridtjof nansen 610 5$arochester 610 5$anew york 610 5$aManchester 615 0$aArt critics 615 0$aArt and society. 615 0$aJews$xSocial conditions 615 0$aJewish families 615 0$aJewish families 676 $a941.0820922 700 $aWolff$b Janet$0143335 801 2$bUkMaJRU 801 2$bNZ-WeVUL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996591270003316 996 $aAusterity baby$91912891 997 $aUNISA
