A gripping story of refugees during the last days of World War II. Artistocratic Prussian family members, a Scottish POW, and a Jewish escapee form a serendipitous group desperately trying to escape the Russian Army's advance towards Germany. Bohjalian creates a vivid sense of time and place, as well as memorable characters and events. A beautifully written book, this is one of my best reads of the year. This would make a great choice for a book club discussion. (FIC Bohjalian) Located on the second floor in our Fiction collection. Available in Large Print and in Audio format from the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium.
Written by Christopher Bohjalian, 2008. Other books by Bohjalian include: "The Double Bind", "Before You Know Kindness", "Water Witches," "Midwives," "Buffalo Soldier," "Trans-Sister Radio."
