The root and ground of Christian ethics, the author says, is the reality of God as revealed in Jesus Christ. ![]() Although the author died before completing his work, this book is recognized as a major contribution to Christian ethics. Hence, Christian ethics cannot exist in a vacuum what the Christian needs, claims Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is concrete instruction in a concrete situation. ![]() The Christian does not live in a vacuum, says the author, but in a world of government, politics, labor, and marriage.

A secondary plot strand follows her son Julian, now in late middle age, as he returns to Russia on a business deal and tries to get his mother’s KGB file opened. Once she’s there, she can’t go home again, and the book follows Florence and her young family through the depredations and the terror of mid-century Soviet life, as her innocence and fervour crumble. Were I to try, though, I would say this: that it’s about Florence Fein, an idealistic young Jewish woman from Brooklyn, who, disgusted by the failures of capitalism in Depression-era New York and chasing a summer romance with a Soviet she meets through work, decides to move to Russia. In part this is because the promotional materials, and the jacket copy, are also vague, and in part that is because The Patriots is difficult to summarise neatly. I went into The Patriots with only the vaguest and most limited of expectations: I knew the main character’s name, and that the action took place between the Soviet Union and the US, but almost nothing else. “The point, my friend…is we’re all leashed pretty tightly to the era we’re living through.” The Great Reread, #5: I Capture the Castle, by Dodie Smith. ![]() April 2023: superlatives for the rest of it. ![]() 7/1/2023 0 Comments Piggie pie by margie palatini![]() ![]() His work has been recognized with a host of prestigious awards including the Bologna Ragazzi, The New York Times Ten Best Illustrated, ALA Notable, and the Parents' Choice Award.
