Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels, read by Anne Michaels.
Jakob Beer is seven years old when he is rescued from the muddy ruins of a buried village in Nazi-occupied Poland. Of his family, he is the only one who has survived. Under the guidance of the Greek geologist Athos, Jakob must steel himself to excavate the horrors of his own history.
A novel of astounding beauty and wisdom, Fugitive Pieces is a profound meditation on the resilience of the human spirit and love's ability to resurrect even the most damaged of hearts.
Critic Reviews
"Monumental [...] Fugitive Pieces is the most important book I have read for 40 years." (John Berger, Observer)
"‘This is a novel to lose yourself in; let the language pour over you, depositing its richness like waves lapping sand onto a beach. Michaels is a novelist of unusual and compelling power." (Erica Wagner, The Times)
"‘Essential reading, both for its exceptional literary craft and for its exemplary and inspiring humanity." (Spectator)
