  It is 1978, and thousands of Soviet-Jewish migrants are stranded in Rome when their passage to America is obstructed by endless bureaucracy. As the eccentric Krasnansky family - an old communist, his wheeler-dealing elder son and womanising younger son - await their fate, they find themselves at the heart of a series of love affairs and criminal liaisons. This subtle, multi-generational saga of migration and cultural change is infused with a wry humour that has spawned well-deserved comparisons with Jewish writers Saul Bellow and Mordecai Richler.
