This powerful and poignant novel, longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, chronicles the harrowing experiences of a Jewish family in Czechoslovakia as they confront the escalating threat of Nazi oppression. It focuses on the agonizing decision to send their five-year-old son, Pepik, to safety in England, leaving the rest of the family behind. Alison Pick masterfully explores themes of sacrifice, survival, memory, and the enduring strength of family bonds amidst unimaginable adversity. The narrative offers a deeply emotional and historically resonant portrayal of displacement and the profound human cost of war.
