Fiction
The Oriental Wife is the story of two assimilated Jewish
children from Nuremberg who flee Hitler’s Germany and
struggle to put down roots elsewhere. When they meet up
again in New York, they fall in love both with each other
and with America, believing they have found a permanent
refuge. But just when it looks as though nothing can ever
touch them again, their lives are shattered by a freakish
accident and a betrayal that will reverberate into the life
of their American daughter. In its portrait of the immigrant
experience, and of the tragic gulf between generations, The
Oriental Wife illuminates the collision of American ideals
of freedom and happiness with certain sterner old world
virtues.
