Book Description
While examining the devastating effects of war on ordinary families, this tale provides an exploration of fear and loss, and of the bond between parents and children Czechoslovakia, 1942. Jan's father has been summarily executed by the Nazis. His mother and his older sister Maria have disappeared, and his younger sister Lena has been removed to a remote farm in the German countryside. With Europe in the throes of war, the 10-year-old boy embarks on a personal journey to reunite the family from which he has been violently torn. The experiences he goes through and the horror he faces during this desperate quest will change his life forever. Riveting, moving, at times disturbing, this debut novel will haunt readers for a long time after they have put it down.
