A coming-of-age story by a master of storytelling on the need to
love and cherish life and grab it by the drosky's reins. This is
Kops at his most irrepressible and irreverent, vibrant and lyrical
and connected - to the present and the past. Seventeen-year-old Sam
Glass is depressed. Since his father died suddenly, he sees no
point in life especially not among the cosy middle class environs
where his love of quoting from classical literature falls on deaf

the Middle Ages, who takes Sam back in time to the Russia of 1881.
He meets a panoply of characters including his own forebears and
some familiar figures from Jewish history. Then he discovers the
secret purpose for which he has been chosen -- to assassinate Tsar
Alexander II ..
