Summary

This is a love story of two young people, Pincus and Yetta, caught in the undercurrents of life and the quirks of fate.

Characters

Pincus is the son of German-Jewish immigrants and Yetta is the daughter of Russian-Jewish immigrants.

Conflict

There has always been conflict between the two since the German Jews thought the Russian Jews inferior to them.

Theme

The theme of The Pincus Legacy is father versus son, brother against brother and, finally, culture versus culture.

Although the pattern of the story comes from real life, the cloth that clothes the book is fiction and the thread that weaves everything together is fate.
