Summary

Summer Lightning by Roberta Silman is a dazzling new historical novel that tells the story of an immigrant Jewish family from the challenging prewar years all the way through to the Kennedy assassination. Silman’s captivating characters take risks as they strengthen their ties to those they left behind in Europe, the dazzling Manhattan art scene of the 50’s and 60’s, and the Black community.

Award-winning audiobook narrator Carrington MacDuffie’s reading of Silman’s elegant prose is powerful and exciting.
