Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Between Two Worlds
Maisie Mosco · 1993
65/100
👎 Skip It
Maisie Mosco earns her 'queen of her genre' designation from the Jewish Chronicle, and the dual-world tension between theatrical dynasty and Jewish heritage in early-20th-century England is a genuinely rich premise for a family saga. But the 1983 prose style will feel dated to modern readers, the critical review record for this specific edition is thin, and Mosco remains relatively unknown outside UK Jewish literary circles. Fans of Rita Bradshaw-style sagas will get something from it; others have stronger options.
