‘ANGELS ALWAYS COME ON TIME’ Shares Epic of Four Generations of the Linder Family
NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 19, 2018 -- The new memoir, “ANGELS ALWAYS COME ON TIME” (published by Lulu) shows the intersection of the intensely personal with grand, historical events. From the visit of the Kaiser to Palestine in 1898, to the brutalities of World War I, to the defeat of the Ottomans in 1917 and British Mandatory rule, these tales show the impact of world events on the lives of those “caught in the impersonal sweep of history.” Written by Chaim Linder during his lifetime, the book was edited for publication by his son, Mark Linder. It is available for purchase at: https://www.amazon.com/Angels-Always-Come-Chaim-Linder-ebook/dp/B078P3CBZQ.
Kirkus Reviews says of “ANGELS ALWAYS COME ON TIME”: “As a memoir, it’s beautifully rendered, and as history, it’s masterfully told.”
The memoir is the record of four generations of the Linder family. It tells of their lives in 18th century Poland, Jerusalem under the Ottoman Turks, Palestine as it was ruled by Britain, and finally to America at the start of the Great Depression. Their lives show how ordinary men and women, facing tremendous odds and hostile forces, strive, with steadfast dignity and an unfailing belief in an eternal benevolence, to make the world a better, kinder place.
When asked what Chaim wanted readers to take away from the book, Mark replied: “First, an understanding of, and empathy with, the many men and women, and children, who, struggling against a seemingly indifferent, and at times a genuinely malignant world, tirelessly seek haven and grand purpose. Second, to learn how it is indeed possible to achieve both.”

About the Authors
Chaim Linder was born in Jerusalem in 1907, one of seven children in an ultra-orthodox Jewish family. In 1929 after World War I and the Arab riots, he left Jerusalem for America. There, expecting to find gold at his feet, he encountered the harsh realities of the Great Depression. He taught himself English, became a tri-lingual linotypist. In New York, he met an émigré from Jerusalem. They married and moved to Brooklyn, where they raised a family of four sons. Chaim retired in 1972 and began working on his memoir.
Now, 20 years after his death, Mark Linder, one of his sons, a professional writer, edited the manuscript, intent on bringing the story of Chaim and his ancestors to life in “ANGELS ALWAYS COME ON TIME.”
