Ida Maze's autobiographical novel "Dineh" is a haunting portrait of rural, village, and small-town life in White Russia (now Belarus) at the turn of the 20th century. Dineh's story is interwoven with portraits of other people, chiefly women and girls, in her community. The novel explores themes of class stratification, thwarted romance, violence, and the perils of childbirth. Originally published in Yiddish, Dineh has been translated for the first time into English by Yermiyahu Ahron Taub.
