No one chose this book today so I brought it home.
This turned out to be such a haunting, moving story. The last two paragraphs brought me to tears.
It's a novel about Theo, a young man who was released from the camps in Ukraine following the Holocaust. He planned to walk by himself across Europe to his home town of Baden-bei-Wein in Austria. Along the way, he tried to avoid other survivors, but he did encounter them from time to time. His exchanges of conversation, hot coffee, and cigarettes, were fraught with a heaviness of spirit. On many occasions, he remembered or imagined conversations with his mother, a beloved free spirit but mentally ill, and with his dad, a serious but rather distant paternal figure.
This is a Holocaust novel, but not a story of atrocities. It is a revelation of what it felt like to be a survivor. It gives the sense of alienation and the uncertainty if there was anything left for which to hope.
