Based on a true story of love, loss, despair and hope, Good for a Single Journey spans four generations, weaving one family’s experiences into the fabric of Jewish 20th-century history.

From her great-grandparents at the end of WWI to her own present as an educator, Helen Joyce draws on reality for this turbulent and mesmerizing saga, described by the Wall Street Journal’s Gregory Zuckerman as “an evocative, character-rich, historically accurate snapshot of a period of dramatic upheaval”.

An event from Jewish Book Week 2024
