Publisher's Summary
The USA Today best seller.
My brother’s tears left a delicate, clean line on his face. I stroked his cheek, whispered, it’s really you....
Dov and Yitzhak live in a small village in the mountains of Hungary, isolated both from the world and from the horrors of the war.
But one day in 1944, everything changes. The Nazis storm the homes of the Jewish villagers and inform them they have one hour. One hour before the train will take them to Auschwitz.
Six decades later, from the safety of their living rooms at home in Israel, the brothers finally break their silence to a friend who will never let their stories be forgotten.
Malka Adler’s extraordinary biographical novel of a family separated by the Holocaust and their harrowing journey back to each other is based on interviews with the brothers she grew up with by the Sea of Galilee. When they decided to tell their story, she was the only one they would talk to.
Told in a poetic style reminiscent of Margaret Atwood, this is a visceral yet essential listen for those who have found strength, solace and above all hope in books like The Choice, The Librarian of Auschwitz and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
Critic Reviews
"It is a book we all must [listen to] in order to know.... It is harsh, enthralling, earth-shattering, rattling - but we must. And nothing less." (Aliza Ziegler, editor in chief at Proza Books, Yedioth Ahronoth Publishing House)
"Great courage is needed to write as Adler does - without softening, without beautifying, without leaving any room to imagination." (Yehudith Rotem, Haaretz newspaper)
"This is a book we are not allowed not to [listen to]." (Leah Roditi, At Magazine)

More than just another holocaust story
It's been a long time since I read a holocaust novel. This one is full of descriptions of betrayal, brutality and total disregard for human lives, unimaginable conditions, occasional acts of kindness and survival. The horrors of camp life, and the scars they leave, are vividly relived through three members of one family. For those who have not read accounts of holocaust horrors, this is a good place to start.
