Popis
Eva finds the letter in the Blue Room. She spent the happier days of her childhood here, in her grandfathers painting studio. After his death, she is responsible for his legacy - a legacy threatened by the letter. It is from the Jewish Museum in Berlin. They have found the testimony he gave after surviving the death march across Serbia and Hungary, and they want to exhibit it.
But the famous Joseph Silk - who came to England as a refugee - remade himself long ago. As Eva unravels what happened to him, and to the woman he loved, she is confronted by the lies that have haunted her family. They will change her grandfathers identity; but they could also turn the tide of history. Their story is in her hands. Kim Sherwoods extraordinary first novel is a powerful statement of intent.
Beautifully written, moving and hopeful, it crosses the tidemark where the third generation meets the first, finding a new language to express love, loss and our place within history. Biographical Notes: Kim Sherwood was born in Camden in 1989 and lives in Bath.
