Synopsis
From the author of The Chosen comes a work of nonfiction that chronicles the stormy lives of a Jewish father, Solomon Slepak, an infelxible old-guard Bolshevik, and his son, Volodya, who became an internationally renowned "refusenik" hero during the 18 years of his persecution for attempting to leave the Soviet Union. Potok tells their story with deep understanding and empathy.

Chaim Potok tells the story of the Slepak family, and the refuseniks in the Soviet Union, with compassion and the perfect amount of detail. I recommend this book for anyone interested in stories of common heroes.
