The word Shanda is defined in Yiddish as shame or disgrace. In her memoir, Pogrebin tells the engaging and candid story of three generations of her Jewish family. The story begins with her own secret and spirals through hidden lives revealing truth about origins, traumas, marital misery, abandoned children, sexually identity, politics and religious transgressions. Pogrebin’s family has a remarkable talent for reinvention and is a touching and surprising universal story.
