The world knows well the tale of Tevye, the beloved Jewish dairyman from the shtetl Anatevka of Tsarist Russia. In stories originally written by Sholem Aleichem and then made world-famous in the celebrated musical Fiddler on the Roof, Tevye, his wife Golde, and their five daughters dealt with the outside influences that were encroaching upon their humble lives. But what happened to those remarkable characters after the curtain fell? In After Anatevka, Alexandra Silber picks up where Fiddler left off. Second-eldest daughter Hodel takes center stage as she attempts to join her Socialist-leaning fiancé Perchik to the outer reaches of a Siberian work camp. But before Hodel and Perchik can finally be together, they both face extraordinary hurdles and adversaries--both personal and political--attempting to keep them apart at all costs. A love story set against a backdrop of some of the greatest violence in European history, After Anatevaka is a stunning conclusion to a tale that has gripped audiences around the globe for decades.

Alexandra Silber did an amazing job! submitted by edb.blanchard on August 14, 2018, 8:08pm I met Silber at her book event at Literati and she poured herself into the research and making this story a relevant and compelling sequel. She played the role of Hodel on the West End in London where she deeply connected with the role (see also: White Hot Grief Parade) and she was in the 2016 Broadway revival as Tzeitel. She knows these characters very well and takes precious care of them in this imagined sequel!

A grittier side of Fiddler on the Roof and beyond submitted by Zekicmom on August 21, 2019, 2:22pm After Anatevka is a gripping novel that remains true to the characters of "Fiddler on the Roof", while also being true to the era in which the story takes place. Full of brutal realities, this is no warm, fuzzy, Broadway musical.
