FROM MOSCOW TO MILWAUKEE WITH LOVE is a memoir of linked stories about a daughter of Jewish Russian immigrants who navigates with wit and insight her WWII era quest for identity as a progressive wife and mother living in the conservative Southwest. The author, who ages from four to ninety-two, is meticulously groomed and dressed, poised and attentive, a demure Elaine Stritch. The stories range from the antics of a socialist lawyer father, to a family housekeeper who hoards food, to a bridge club battlefield, to a hysterectomy that leaves the author depressed and medically dependent, to her teaching writing and a professor's suicide. This collection is for readers who enjoy accessible literary memoir that is a family and social commentary with political implications.
