ⓘ About Evelyn Berckman

Berckman was the daughter of a woolen goods merchant named Aaron and wife Hannah, who emigrated to America in the year 1891. They lived in Germantown from 1900 until 1936, a suburb about seven miles from downtown Philadelphia. She attended the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, and was a contemporary of Aaron Copland among others. She spent the 1930s in New York City, and lived on East 60th Street on the Upper East Side. Evelyn taught piano. For quite a few years, she was a composer and pianist, writing plays and (mostly historical) non-fiction along with her novels. Evelyn suffered from a temporary paralysis that was brought on by long practice sessions at her piano.
