New York, 1913. Nach einem Pogrom in ihrer russischen Heimatstadt ist die jüdische Familie der kleinen Malka ausgewandert. Ursprünglich sollte es nach Südafrika zu einem Onkel gehen, doch der Vater hat heimlich stattdessen Karten für die Schiffspassage in die USA gekauft. Im neuen, verheißungsvollen Land steht die Familie jedoch ganz am Ende der Gesellschaft – sie muss im Wohnzimmer eines Schneiders zur Untermiete wohnen und die Kinder müssen sich ihren Lebensunterhalt mehr oder weniger selbst verdienen – wie, überlassen die Eltern den Kindern. Zu allem Überdruss entpuppt sich der Familienvater als unverantwortlicher Gauner. Und dann hat Malka auch noch einen verheerenden Unfall… As you might have already suspected….this novel might give readers a craving for ice cream, or gelato …. or if you are lactose intolerance, and have given up the ice cold creamy treat… or are vegan …. or just don’t ‘do’ chilly desserts any longer …. Chetwynd, Josh (2012). How the Hot Dog Found Its Bun: Accidental Discoveries and Unexpected Inspirations That Shape What We Eat and Drink. Guilford: Lyons Press. p.86. ISBN 978-0-7627-8529-2. I do not believe that the author meant for us to love the old woman Lillian has become. She is irascible, demanding, impatient, insulting. Through betrayals, biased against her disability, her inferior status as a woman who built a business that is always viewed as her husband’s—we see her developing into a shrewd business person. But she becomes obsessed with success and with keeping her eye on the competition so she cannot even enjoy the company of her husband who still adores her. When we meet her as an old woman, she acts as if rules of society no longer apply to her. She is an unlikeable character, but again, the author made her authentic. And we never forget for a moment what she had to overcome to get to this place….
In April 1878, Agnes Beer (sic) Smith, domestic servant, gave birth to a daughter, Ethel Doyle Smith, in Dalston and the birth certificate indicates that the father's name was Doyle, and not, as generally assumed, her future husband. [2] A few months later, on 17 August 1878, she married Alfred William Marshall, son of a builder named Thomas Marshall, at St. George's Church, Hanover Square. [5] [6] The couple had three children: Agnes Alfreda (called "Aggie", born 1879), Alfred Harold (born 1880) and William Edward born 1882). [2] [8] Daughter Ethel was raised as one of the family; and at some date Agnes changed her second forename to Bertha.

[6] In January 1883, [5] she and her husband acquired the Lavenue cookery school which was situated at 67 Mortimer St., and renamed it the Marshall's School of Cookery.

In the summer of 1888, Marshall went on a tour to the United States. Her lecture received a positive review in the Philadelphia Bulletin but she did not achieve the same level of acclaim in America as she had in England. [1] Marshall is recorded to have provided Christmas dinners for the "Hungry Poor" in Stepney and Poplar in London in 1889. She also provided warm soup to the poor throughout the winter of that year. [8] If I’d been crippled by, say, a rag man or a coal vendor, I would never become Lillian Dunkle, as the world knows her today,” Lillian says. “Certainly, I would never have become a legend at all.” The book started out strong but my interest and the momentum of the storyline started to waver about halfway through especially as the business side of the storyline took the lead. Some of the ice cream information given was interesting but I wanted more detail about the characters and progression of the storyline.
