The Jewish Book Council does more than any other contemporary organization to ensure that Jews across the country and around the world who might not be able to pray together, to eat together, or to agree about just about anything else can at least laugh at, argue about, and be scandalized by the same books.

The House at Tyneford by Natasha Solomons

The House at Tyneford

It's the spring of 1938 and no longer safe to be a Jew in Vienna. Nineteen-year-old Elise Landau is forced to leave her glittering life of parties and champagne to become a parlor maid in England. She arrives at Tyneford, the great house on the bay, where servants polish silver and serve drinks on the lawn. But war is coming, and the world is changing. When the master of Tyneford's young son, Kit, returns home, he and Elise strike up an unlikely friendship that will transform Tyneford-and Elise-forever.
