Set against the backdrop of London's East End, the novel delves into the lives of the Jewish community, highlighting their struggles, hopes, and the impact of centuries of ghetto living on their psyche. Through vivid character portrayals, Zangwill examines the tension between tradition and the pressures of assimilation in a rapidly changing society. His firsthand experience as a Jewish immigrant informs a poignant narrative that addresses themes of oppression and resilience, earning him comparisons to Dickens and establishing his voice in Victorian literature.
