Pomeranski: A Gripping Tale of Family Secrets, Jewish Identity, and South London’s Underworld

di Gerald Jacobs (Autore)

Quadrant Books, 2025

From Gerald Jacobs, acclaimed author and former literary editor of The Jewish Chronicle, Pomeranski is a gripping, layered tale set against the vibrant yet dangerous backdrop of post-war South London. Meet Benny "the Fixer" Pomeranski, once a commanding presence in Brixton's Jewish underworld, a man whose charm and cunning masked deeper emotional truths. As his family gathers to bury him, secrets surface, including a long-concealed love affair, a hidden gun, and a legacy tangled in loyalty, betrayal, and silent regret. Blending rich character studies with a fast-paced plot, this novel dives into a world of backstreet tailors, East End hustlers, and the faded glamour of London's music hall era. Gerald Jacobs deftly weaves crime, family drama, and social commentary into a moving portrait of a community rarely explored in contemporary fiction. Perfect for fans of Jewish historical fiction, gritty family sagas, and novels rich with atmosphere and moral complexity, Pomeranski is a story of secrets, survival, and second chances. Praise for Gerald Jacobs: "An eloquent chronicler of Jewish life and history." – The Guardian Don't miss this masterful blend of heart, history, and hard truths.
