THE EuCLID . A V"ENUE TEMPLE

THE NIGHTINGALE'S SONG By Dorothy Alofsin

Although stories for young people are not as rare as' they used to be ' in the Jewish field , they are still few enough, so that the appearance of a new one is something of an occasion. This is particularly true of stories dealing with a specifically American Jewish back­ground. After all, the most important problem facing the young Jew is the same one that faces all of us- the prob­lem of self-expression on the part of a young person who feels himself Ameri­can and Jew at one and the same time.

Mrs. Dorothy Alofsin, whose name has become well known among the writers for Jewish young people in America, has produced another work addressed to YOU/lg Jewish adults. Her story deviates from the usual in that she lays her scene not in one of the larger cities of the United States but in the surroundings of a small farming community ... The Jewish family which forms the center of . the story is at­tempting to establish itself on the soil. So eager, in fact, ' is · the -fat-her of the family to make a success of his farm that, despite his East European tradi­tion, he is willing to sacrifice his daugh­ter's schooling ' rather than risk failure as a farmer. That is the point of the story. Around this point are built the struggles of young Deborah to over­come the obstacles thus placed in her way. She finds ways of continuing her literary education and of eventually tak­ing the first step towards literary pro­ductivity. . Of course, there is a 10'l'e story and

there are other adventures. There are also sc.enes from Jewish life and typic­ally American scenes. There are good a,nd bad relations between the Warshaw family and their neighbors. All of these details add. up to a thrilling story of how a Jewish girl in the United States overcame difficulties in order to attain her literary ambition. No young Jew­ish person will lay down the book once his reading had begun.

Mrs. Alofsin is the author of "The Stream of Jewish Life" and of a num­ber of short stories. She writes with charm and delicacy. The book comes from the press of the Jewish Publication Society.
