| book description |

Nicholas Lemann grew up thinking he wanted to be Jack Burden, the everâ€“curious reporterâ€“historian in Robert Penn Warrenâ€™s All the Kingâ€™s Men who gets drawn into a web of southern intrigue. Like his fictional mentor, Lemann pulls us mesmerizingly into a threeâ€“century family drama, in which he traces the Lemanns from their humble beginnings in Germany to the nineteenthâ€“century American South, where they became Jewish plantation owners and aspirants to New Orleans society. Yet Lemann began chafing against the Southâ€™s strict racial hierarchy and his relativesâ€™ eagerness to be accepted in an antiâ€“Semitic environment, including a deliberate blindness to the plight of desperate European Jews. Returning follows the narrator as he rejects this assimilated world and embraces the rites of Judaism. Through its nuanced combination of biography and philosophy, Returning, with its heartrending portraits of generations of family members, becomes one of the most memorable statements about Jewish history in the twentyâ€“first century.
