Publisher Description
In 1930s Antwerp, having fled a pre war Poland with her family, Zoshia, a young Jewish girl, battles to survive intense persecution from the Nazis and bravely endangers her own life in order to help save others.
During the war years, Grace, a young teenager, suffers severe personal abuse at the hands of her family in Lyme Regis, England and courageously tries to overcome the repercussions. As adults, both Zoshia and Grace face personal struggles as they try to recover from their traumatic experiences.
This unique and exquisite tale of two women from different backgrounds, juxtaposes both their lives as they each journey through the decades, over coming tragedy and anguish from World War II onwards. This gripping narrative chronicles the injurious plight of women in an age of gender inequality, demonstrates the disastrous effects of war, human cruelty and exploitation, and dynamically showcases the power of female friendship.
Customer Reviews
Excellent read
Love the book and highly recommend you give the book a read!
Compelling Read
What a great story. So moving knowing it’s based on true life. It touches on the sadness and suffering which many Jews suffered - unknown by many - during WW2.
I started this book and finished it on the same day as the stories of both characters are such a compelling read.
A beautiful debut novel
What a beautifully written book. Two very moving stories written in parallel; I love how the narrative weaves effortlessly back and forth between the two women as they fight for survival in different ways. Fantastic. Would throughly recommend this.
