Vignettes about a Russian Jewish immigrant family living in Connecticut as the young adult daughters get settled with mates. I thought it had a FIDDLER ON THE ROOF vibe, cos all of the mates were rebellious choices. We see a bit into Russian Jewish sensibilities, & there's some funny social satire, a la Jane Austen. Also surreal plot points in talking handkerchiefs and mild posession by a former Soviet premier. Not too deep, not for all. #JewLit
