Farjeon is a fictional tale written in the late 19th century. The novel unfolds the story of its titular character, Aaron Cohen, and explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the challenges faced by Jewish individuals in society. Through the opening chapters, readers are introduced to Dr. Spenlove, a compassionate physician, and Mrs. Turner, a woman in despair, setting the stage for a narrative that grapples with moral dilemmas concerning motherhood and redemption. The opening of the book establishes a grim atmosphere, beginning on a snowy night in December as Dr. Spenlove reflects on his departure from Portsmouth due to financial struggles. His internal conflict deepens when he learns of a female patient, Mrs. Turner, in dire straits, prompting him to seek her in the cold. After discovering her unconscious in the snow with her infant, he manages to save both mother and child with the help of Mr. Moss, a pawnbroker. This encounter becomes pivotal as it intertwines their lives with Mr. Gordon, who harbors the intent to marry Mrs. Turner, presenting her with a difficult choice between societal judgment and the chance for a respectable life.
