Anya

A Novel

"Anya is a myth, an epic...[by] a writer of remarkable power."—Washington Post

Anya Savikin lived among well-to-do Russian Jews in Poland, in a world more like Tolstoy's than our own, until the first bombing of Warsaw and the chaos that ensued. Her story incarnates the strength and love of eastern European Jewry, before and after their decimation. Reading group guide included.

"A triumph of realism in art."—New York Times Book Review

Susan Fromberg Schaeffer's previous novels include Anya, Buffalo Afternoon, The Snow Fox, and The Madness of a Seduced Woman. She lives in Chicago and in Vermont and teaches at the University of Chicago.
