Synopsis
The battlefield traumas of the Great War cement an improbable friendship between Jed Gates, scion of the wealthy Gates family, and David Warshinsky, first-generation American from New York's poverty-ridden lower East Side. David sacrifices his family and his Jewish heritage to his untamable ambition. Jed sacrifices his private desires to assume the burdens of familial expectations. Davids sister Sarah suffers the torments of a tenement sweatshop, while Jed's sister Lucy becomes a nurse in Margaret Sanger's revolutionary birth control clinic. Both find love in unexpected places. David's mother Anna loses her struggle to preserve her shattered family. And wealth cannot protect Jed's aunt Zoe from the violent abuses of her alcoholic husband, or his artist father Philip from the pain of his wife's rejection. A novel that is both panoramic and intimate, Hidden teems with complex characters readers will embrace. Concealing their passions and innermost thoughts even from those they love most dearly, the Warshinskys and Gateses love, lust, seize power, and strive during a decade of turmoil at home and abroad. Hidden is the powerful debut of a talented new writer.
