Wake Up Refreshed - Premium Home Morning Routine Essentials for a Perfect Start | Cozy Bedroom & Bathroom Must-Haves

Home in the Morning is a lovely book, encompassing many social issues over the course of a few decades. Set largely in Mississippi in the late '1940s through the '90s, the book follows the story of Jackson Sassaport, a southern Jewish man who comes of age in the midst of the civil rights struggle.At the story's heart is a mystery: what happened between Jackson, his indomitable wife Stella, and their African-American friends Mombasa and Katherine Marie to cause a rift between these people whose lives were so intertwined? The tale unwinds slowly through flashbacks over the course of the book, as we learn about the lives of these characters, most of whom grew up in a small Mississippi town that was largely segregrated in their youth.The book covers many social issues faced by African-Americans and Jews in the United States during this time and how they responded to these challenges. Glickman somehow accomplishes this very gently, administering a lesson in an unsetttled era of American history with sensitivity while enfolding you in the story with warmth. The characters are very interesting and nuanced; I was a bit surprised by how my initial impressions of characters changed as their stories were shaded in throughout the book. Altogether a very nice read.
