It tells of how his daughter Tseitl, promised to the the rich butcher Lazer Wolf, marries Motl, the penniless tailor; of how Hodl, the second daughter, loses her heart to Pfeffrl, the communist revolutionary, and ends up following him to Siberia; of how his daughter Chave converts to Christianity, abbandoning Tevye forever; of how another daughter commits suicide and of how the youngest, Tevye's pet, after having sold herself to wealth, is ashamed of her penniless father..."
