| Summary |
An extraordinary, propulsive novel based on the true story of a family of Polish Jews who scatter at the start of the Second World War, determined to survive, and to reunite. |
|
It is the spring of 1939, and three generations of the Kurc family are doing their best to live normal lives, even as the shadow of war grows ever closer. The talk around the family Seder table is of new babies and budding romance, not of the increasing hardships facing Jews in their hometown of Radom, Poland. As the horrors overtaking Europe become inescapable, the Kurc family will be flung to the far corners of the earth, each desperately trying to chart his or her own path toward safety. Driven by an extraordinary will to survive, the Kurcs must rely on hope, ingenuity, and inner strength to persevere. |
