About this book
Set in early 1900s Russia, The Fixer follows Yakov Bok, a humble Jewish handyman who is wrongly accused of murdering a Christian girl amid a wave of anti-Semitic persecution. As Bok endures a grueling trial and widespread hostility, the novel exposes the machinery of prejudice that threatens to condemn an innocent man. Through quiet resolve, Bok transforms from scapegoat to a symbol of moral courage, and the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning story becomes a meditation on justice and identity.
