opening lines in Klara's Journey, A Novel, by Ben G. Frank, betrayal, high drama, love!


 “Klara’s Journey, A Novel,”: betrayal, high drama, love!

By Ben G. Frank

CHAPTER I, ODESSA, 1917.

 

“The hell with the Czar.”

 

“Who said that?”

“I did.”

“Get your books and get out.”

“The hell with you, too!” she yells back at the shocked teacher. The stunned class cringes as they watch the tall, thin teenager dart from her desk and exit the Russian-history class in School No.1 on Nikolaevsky Boulevard overlooking the Black Sea port of Odessa.

“What a mouth on that Jew girl. Off to Siberia with her, like all the other Bolshevik kikes," sneers instructor Igor Devushkin.

“Now class, as we were discussing before we were so rudely interrupted, on page 38, as the Czar said: ‘Where the Russian flag is planted, there it remains forever.’”


She is Klara Rasputnis, daughter of Rev. Gershon Rasputnis.
