With her reputation as a vilde chaya, a wild beast, Fanny Keismann isn't like the other women in her shtetl-certainly not her obedient and anxiety-ridden sister, Mende, whose "philosopher" of a husband, Zvi-Meir, has run off to Minsk, abandoning her and their two children in a small village in Russia's Pale of Settlement. As a young girl, Fanny felt an inexorable pull toward the profession of her father, Grodno's ritual slaughterer, who reluctantly took her under his wing and trained her to be a master shochet-incredibly skilled with a knife. It's a knife that Fanny keeps tied to her right leg even now, as a married woman, cheese farmer, and mother of five, long after she's given up that unsuitable profession. Horrified by her brother-in-law's actions and heedless of the dangers facing a Jewish woman travelling alone in Czarist Russia, Fanny decides that enough is enough and sets off to track down Zvi-Meir and bring him home-with the help of the mute and mysterious ferryman, Zizek Breshov, an ex-soldier with his own sensational past. In irresistible prose, Israeli novelist Yaniv Iczkovits spins a family drama into a far-reaching comedy of errors that soon pits the Czar's army against the Russian secret police and threatens the foundations of the Russian Empire. The Slaughterman's Daughter is a rollicking and unforgettable work of fiction"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Abandoned wives $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish women $z Russia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish families $z Russia $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Russia $x History $y 1801-1917 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 650 0 $a Novels. 700 1 $a Scharf, Orr, $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Iczkovits, Yaniv, 1975- $t Slaughterman's daughter $b First United States edition. $d New York : Schocken Books, [2021] $z 9780805243666 $w (DLC) 2020010017 880 $6 500-00/(3/r $a Originally published in Israel as ת×ק×× ××ר ×צ×ת by Keter Books Jerusalem, in 2015.
