HardCover Binding. Year: 1983. ISBN: 0879234741. This arresting contemporary novel is the story of Erika Hertz, one of those magnetic German Jewish intellectuals driven from Germany by the Nazis who becames a legend in America. ""Admirable,"" the word Erika accepts for herself, is taken from an academic's compliment and turned over and over in this autobiographical narrative as if it were a diamond suspected of flaws.
