HTML:For Davita Chandal, growing up in New York in the 1930s and '40s is an experience of indescribable joy??and unfathomable sadness. Her loving parents, both fervent radicals, fill her with the fiercely bright hope for a new, better world. But the deprivations of war and the Depression take their ruthless toll. And Davita, unexpectedly, finds in the Jewish faith that her mother had long ago abandoned both a solace to her questioning inner pain and a test of her budding spirit of independence. To her, life's elusive possibilities for happiness, for fulfillment, for decency, become as real and resonant as the music of the small harp that hangs on her door, welcoming all guests with its sweet, gentle tones.

E' un anno cruciale quello in cui Davita a otto anni comincia a farsi un'idea del mondo: l'America si lascia alle spalle la crisi del '29 e i suoi genitori, intellettuali impegnati a sinistra, sognano l'avvento di una società più giusta. Ma l'affermazione del fascismo e del nazismo in Europa spegne ogni ottimismo (fonte: Google Books)
