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:
