Summary: | It is 1938 and fascist Italy has imposed its infamous race laws. A young Jewish professor entertains a tormented passion for the beautiful and enigmatic Sonia. She is everything that he is not - the privileged daughter of a family that is wealthy, prominent and, above all, gentile. He wins her affections, but the price is great. Winner of the Moravia Prize for Fiction, The Jewish Husband is a bittersweet story of passion, hatred, cruelty and oppression. |
