Constantly in debt from splurges of high living and saddled with a marriage to a Negro that he confesses was loveless, he turned to religion, became one of the world's most celebrated converts to Judaism. His interest in things Jewish had begun when Eddie Cantor had pressed a mezuzah, a holy Hebrew charm, into his hand, increased when a rabbi comforted him in the hospital after his accident, and ended with formal conversion after four years of study...
John F.

Just as she and her lover take happy possession of the Mtsensk manor house, the crimes are discovered; on her way to Siberia in a column of convicts, she is taunted...
