Daa Drndic has given us a masterpiece that is not only brilliant but uncompromisingly humane. Drndic is writing neither to entertain (her novel is splendid and absorbing nevertheless) nor to instruct (its subject the Holocaust is too intractable to yield lessons).

About this product

Product Information

An old woman sits alone in Gorizia, north-eastern Italy. She is waiting to be reunited with her son. He was fathered by an S.S. officer and stolen from her sixty-two years before by the Nazi authorities during the German occupation. By focusing on the experiences of one individual, Drndic engages head-on with the traumatic history of WWII and the Holocaust and deals unsparingly with the massacre of Jews in Trieste's concentration camp. A literary collage comprising photographs, scraps of poetry, interviews and testimonies from the Nuremburg Trials, it is a formally daring work of immense power and scope.
