Enemies, A Love Story
by Isaac Bashevis Singer
"A suspenseful examination of the relationship between man and woman, husband and wife, in all its passion and jealousy, exploring life, love, faith and fidelity." Herman Broder, a Polish Jew, was saved from the Holocaust by Yadwiga, a servant girl who hid him in a barn for three years. Once in America he marries her out of gratitude, but takes a lover, Masha, herself a survivor of the camps. And that is not all: shot by the fascists together with their two children and believed dead, Tamara, his first wife, survived as if by a miracle, and is now in America too.
