About
When Fanny Keismann turns ten, her father, Grodno's ritual slaughterer, gives her a knife, and she soon develops a talent for her father's trade. But in nineteenth-century Russia, ritual slaughter does not befit a wife and mother, so when it comes time to marry and raise a family, Fanny abandons her work and devotes herself to raising her five children.
