It's the eve of World War II. Aaron Lobel is an immigrant Jew, a Boston doctor, had married into a wealth Catholic family, and after thirty years of marriage to Jocelyn, has sired four sons. But Aaron's life is now complicated as he struggles to keep his sons from enlisting in the army, deal with German double agents marrying into the fmily--not to mention spies for British Intelligence who are already in the family. In recreating the world of the opening pre-war years of the 1940s, author Richard Cohen has drawn from his own family's history and paid meticulous attention to historical detail enhancing his fast-paced narrative. Engagingly written, Be Still, My Soul reveals that no family, no matter how privileged, was able to stave off the effects of one of the most destructive and wide-flung wars of recorded human history.
