Wherever there is light : a novel / Peter Golden.
A "panoramic tale of twentieth-century America, chronicling the decades-long love affair between a Jewish immigrant and the granddaughter of a slave"--Amazon.com.
Julian Rose left his family and Germany for a new life in 1920s America. He eventually becomes one of the preeminent bootleggers on the East Coast, and later amasses a fortune in real estate. Kendall Wakefield, a free-spirited college senior, longs to become a painter. In 1938 her mother, the daughter of a slave and founder of an African-American college in South Florida, hosts a dinner that reunites Julian with his parents, rescued from Hitler's Germany by the college. Their life-long affair takes them from the beaches of Miami to the jazz clubs of Greenwich Village to postwar life in Paris. Despite distance, their competing desires, and the rapidly changing world, their longing for each other remains a constant in the ceaseless sweep of time.
