thomas: In Legacy, award-winning writer Thomas Harding author of Hanns and Rudolf recounts a Jewish dynastic saga that carries striking echoes of the recent theatrical tour de force The Lehman Trilogy, according to The Guardian. Both trace an arc from modest origins in mainland Europe to unimaginable prosperity, before drastic overreach and calamitous ruin. The latter's disappearance is the more poignant, for it is a loss that today makes no sense cafes and coffee shops are among the few real survivors on the 21st-century high street. J Lyons and Co rose to fame via the efforts of two families, the Salmons and the Glucksteins. His ancestor Lehmann Meyer Gluckstein, born in 1787, was an itinerant scholar in Germany and was forever on the run from the wildfires of antisemitism. Harding has a particular urge to get their story right his mother was a descendant.
