Publisher's Summary

This charming book recounts the remarkable journey of the bagel from the tables of 17th-century Poland to the freezers of middle America today. The story is one of surprising connections between an unassuming ring-shaped roll and centuries of Polish, Jewish, and American history.

What the critics say

"The book, thought-provoking and fact-filled, is one that also uses the bagel as a way of viewing Polish-Jewish history." ( The New York Times)
