500    "This is a Borzoi Book" 
500    "Originally published in Israel as Iti ha'chayim mesachek 
       harbeh by Ha'kibbutz Ha'meuchad, Tel Aviv, in 2019" 
520    "From the internationally best-selling author--and revered
       moral voice--a remarkable novel of suffering, love, and 
       healing, the story of three generations of women and a 
       secret that needs to be told. The story was inspired by 
       the life of a friend and confidante of David Grossman who,
       in the late 1940s, was imprisoned and tortured on the 
       notorious Goli Otok, a barren island prison off the coast 
       of Croatia. Grossman's telling focuses on three strong 
       women--Vera, 90; her daughter, Nina; and her granddaughter,
       Gili, who at 39 years old is a filmmaker and a wary 
       consumer of affection. A bitter secret divides each mother
       and daughter pair, though Gili--abandoned when she was 
       just three by Nina--has been close to her grandmother 
       throughout her life. With Gili making the arrangements, 
       they travel together back to Goli ("the Adriatic 
       Alcatraz"), where Vera was imprisoned, enslaved, and 
       tortured for three years as a young wife, when she refused
       to betray her husband and denounce him as an enemy of the 
       people. This unlikely journey, documented by Gili's camera,
       lays bare the intertwining of fear, love, and mercy, and 
       the complex overlapping demands of romantic and parental 
       passion. With flashbacks to the stalwart Vera protecting 
       what was most precious on the wretched rock where she was 
       held, and Grossman's fearless examination of the human 
       heart, this swift novel will thrill his many readers and 
       bring new ones into the fold"--|cProvided by publisher.
