Review: American Dreams
American Dreams by Kenneth Bromberg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a tale of family, of immigration to America, the land of opportunity ….good and bad…
Max is just a small child, when Czarist Russians come to his village, and his mother hides him in a closet, but he hears her rape and murder…..
His father who had been secretly farming, (it was against the law for the Jewish), returns and kills the drunken soldiers and manages to escape with Max…finally reaching America.
Jonathan, is the son of a member of the IRA, who is to be hanged and tells Jonathan to leave for America, to make a new life.
Max and Jonathan’s meet in their journey building their new lives…..can their dreams come true?
There’s also Sophie, forced to marry a much older man, a crime boss, due to her father owing him money…..can she fulfil her dream of being an actress?
This is an epic family saga, with an organised crime element. Max is ruthless in his pursuit of power…will they all survive? An intriguing tale of family, loss, love, violence and power over generations….
