The First Mrs. Rothschild
The First Mrs. Rothschild | Sara Aharoni
11 posts | 5 read | 13 to read
In this award-winning historical saga, passionate young lovers in a Jewish ghetto rise to become the foremost financial dynasty in the world. It is the turn of the eighteenth century in Frankfurt, Germany, and young Gutle and Meir Amschel Rothschild struggle to establish themselves in the cramped and restricted Judengasse. But when Meir's talents as a novice banker catch the attention of a German prince, Meir is suddenly afforded entre into the European world of finance and nobility, and the Rothschilds' lives are changed forever. As proud as Gutle is of her husband's success, she is also cautious--very much aware of the fact that her husband's rise is tied to his patrons' willingness to "see past" his Jewishness. As their family grows, and a dream of fortune comes true, so does their belief that money will ultimately bring the power needed to establish Jewish civil rights. Told through Gutle's intimate journals, revealed across decades--from the French Revolution through personal tragedies and triumphs--The First Mrs. Rothschild paints a rich and intimate tapestry of family drama, world-changing history, and one woman's steadfast strength.

This was a really interesting story about the origins of the Rothschild banking dynasty. The role the mother played in the cohesion of this family, her support of her husband as he built the empire, and all the prejudices and discrimination they lived through is a testimony to family, courage and resilience

A super great story of the beginning of the Rothschild's dynasty. Gutle tells her story through her notebooks. From the day she first sees Meir Rothschild out her one window in the ghetto of Frankfurt, the the creation of this dynasty through the hard work, talent and faith of her husband. Her life as the matriarch is a beautiful tale. And the passion and love of Gutle and Meir shines throughout.
@Cinfhen have you read this?

Crazeedi @Cinfhen I learned so much about your faith reading this. Her strength was what was so amazing, her understanding of her place in the circle of her family, what she contributed as a mother and wife. Made me think how lacking I was in my life... 4y
Cinfhen Oh wow...now I‘m even more curious/ thanks for the recommendation ❤️ 4y

"The written word must be treated with respect. True , it is not the holy Bible or the tales of our sages— both of which I love so much I have memorized whole passages— and yet, each kind of writing has its own dignity."
