Summary: "Forward from Babylon" by Louis Golding is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Philip Massel, a young Jewish boy living in the dreary industrial city of Doomington, England, as he grapples with his cultural identity and the contrasting narratives of life in Russia and England told by his father, Reb Monash. Throughout the opening chapters, Philip is introduced to a world filled with the haunting memories of his family's past amidst the harsh realities of his current environment. The opening of the book depicts Philip's early experiences, characterized by his father’s vivid storytelling that brings forth tales of despair and danger from their former life in Russia, often evoking fear in young Philip as he imagines the brutality of the Cossacks. The narrative transitions into Philip's life in Doomington, where he struggles with the duality of his existence: the traditional Jewish upbringing upheld by Reb Monash and the secular influences of English society. As he navigates his school life, Philip encounters feelings of isolation and confusion, especially in the face of contrasting identities and expectations, which sets the stage for his internal conflict as he seeks belonging and understanding in a world that feels disconnected from his roots.
