Tevye: The Continuing Story: Coming To America: Volume: 2

by R.J. Shively

In Volume One, we see Tevye-the Milkman, Golde his wife, and their five daughters, forced to leave their village-Anatevka, forever. In Volume Two, we get a better understanding of the “Powers-That-Be.” The people working behind the scenes. Not just the ones who desire their destruction, but those who are trying to deliver them-the Jews, out of harm’s way. Volume One provided a behind the scenes look at what transpired to cause their expulsion. Volume Two shows what a few dedicated people can accomplish, even when faced with overwhelming The Continuing Story-Coming to Volume Two, takes the story even further. Confined to Railroad Cattle Cars, onboard a Northbound Train, Tevye and the rest of the outcasts, ride the rails in the hope of starting their new lives in America. Tevye still talks to you-the audience. Once more, you witness the comedy and the tragedy; the joy and heartache. The musical, “Fiddler of The Roof”, continues to live on in the hearts and minds of all who enjoyed watching it.

Not at all what I expected!

Well, Fiddled on the Roof is probably the best movie ever made. I always loved seeing it. So, when I saw these two books, I jumped at the chance to read them. But, I was terribly disappointed. The story of Tevye and his family took about 1/3 of the books. And they had not yet gotten to New York, America by the end of the second book. Sure, there was a lot of background information about the people in Anatevka, but much more that I deemed unnecessary. Political background, military people. I wanted to read Tevye's continuing story. In the story, we learn a good bit more of his family (his parents, brothers, and a former Gentile girl he loved with all his heart) @
