A sweeping historical novel in the grand tradition of Russian literature that imagines what happens to the characters of Fiddler on the Roof after the curtain falls."

If you grew up with these characters, or even if you didn't, this is a worthy (not, I don't think, exclusive) interpretation including some truly brilliant passages. At a certain point, it's largely about Hodel and Perchik.

Mehso-so

Author Alexandra Silber has a deep relationship with Fiddler on the Roof, having played Hodel in the West End and Tzeitel on Broadway. Her novel picks up after Hodel has gone "far from the home I love" to be with Perchik in exile. Silber invents a backstory for Perchik and imagines what happens to the rest of the family, but beware that the action gets a bit grim. #FarFromHome #JamminJune

A great audible original that excerpts portions of the story along with original songs, which are all based on “Fiddler on the Roof”

#MelodiousMusicals #IfIWereARichMan 🎵🎶OMG 😲How did I not know about this novel before today??? Fiddler On The Roof is one of my favorite musicals...I've always wondered what happened to Tevyah & his daughters!!! Coincidentally, I'm traveling to Odessa tomorrow on a charity mission which makes me believe I'm destined to read this book. Has any Litten read it? Please share your thoughts!

Andrew65 I wasn't aware of this book either. Enjoy Odessa. (edited) 7y

DebinHawaii I had no idea about this book--stacking it! Safe travels on your trip. 💜 7y
BookNAround Haven't read this but did read the original short story by Shalom Aleichem that was turned into Fiddler. It was part of the Russian Soviet Life class I took in high school a long time ago. 7y
readinginthedark Have you read the original stories? My brother said he thinks there's more about each of the characters after Fiddler in that, too. 7y
Cinfhen I've never read the original collection @readinginthedark @BookNAround I really should! I'm gonna suggest it for my bookclub ☺️ 7y

As a #broadwaybookworm whose favorite "Fiddler on the Roof" character/dream role has always been Hodel, there was no way I couldn't add this to my collection. ? #afteranatevka #alexandrasilber #fiddlerontheroof

Cinfhen OMG! How did I not know about this book?!? Did u read it??? Is it good!?!? 7y
actualdisneyprincess I follow Ali Silber on Twitter, which is the only reason I knew about it! I haven't read it yet - figured I should wade through my mountain of library books first since I, y'know, have to give them back 😂 - but as soon as I do, I'll let you know! 😁 7y
