WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD AND THE JEWISH FICTION AWARD FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF JEWISH LIBRARIES


A remarkable debut novel written with the fearless imagination of Michael Chabon and the piercing humor of Gary Shteyngart about a small Jewish village in the Polish forest that is so secluded no one knows it exists . . . until now.

What if there was a town that history missed

For decades, the tiny Jewish shtetl of Kreskol existed in happy isolation, virtually untouched and unchanged. Spared by the Holocaust and the Cold War, its residents enjoyed remarkable peace. It missed out on cars, and electricity, and the internet, and indoor plumbing. But when a marriage dispute spins out of control, the whole town comes crashing into the twenty-first century.

Pesha Lindauer, who has just suffered an ugly, acrimonious divorce, suddenly disappears. A day later, her husband goes after her, setting off a panic among the town elders. They send a woefully unprepared outcast named Yankel Lewinkopf out into the wider world to alert the Polish authorities.

Venturing beyond the remote safety of Kreskol, Yankel is confronted by the beauty and the ravages of the modern-day outside world – and his reception is met with a confusing mix of disbelief, condescension, and unexpected kindness. When the truth eventually surfaces, his story and the existence of Kreskol make headlines nationwide.

Returning Yankel to Kreskol, the Polish government plans to reintegrate the town that time forgot. Yet in doing so, the devious origins of its disappearance come to the light. And what has become of the mystery of Pesha and her former husband Divided between those embracing change and those clinging to its old world ways, the people of Kreskol will have to find a way to come together . . . or risk their village disappearing for good.

Worth my money!
Love this! I purchased a high priced large umbrella from Living Spaces with a weighted plate. Well with frequent strong winds on my patio the bar just was bending and couldn’t handle it. So purchased this. Feels sturdy and it’s longer so provides more support. For sure already noticing a difference. Glad I made this purchase. Would recommend ! It also came with varying sized cylinders for different pole widths. Therefore , you will end up not using one of them. Don’t regret buying this. It works!

Bright, Versatile, and Easy to Use!
Color: Warm White
This Dual-Power Patio Umbrella Light is exactly what I needed for evening gatherings! I love that it works with both rechargeable and regular batteries—super convenient. The three lighting modes are perfect for setting the mood, whether it’s a dinner party or just relaxing outside. It clips easily onto the umbrella pole and stays secure. Great for patios and even camping. Definitely worth it!

This little light is bright!
Color: Cool White
I was looking for a light to hang with my outdoor table that has an umbrella. I did not know this was a thing! But I am glad I found it! It fits perfect, snaps right on. The light is bright enough to see the entire area located under the umbrella. I am unsure how long the battery life works as we haven't stayed out past dark more than an hour or so, but it has worked every day for a week! Awesome product, awesome idea! Why didn't I think of that!?! Totally recommend this little light!
