VINCITORE DEL COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR 2018 VINCITORE DEL SLIGHTLY FOXED BEST FIRST BIOGRAPHY PRIZE 2018 UN SUNDAY TIMES PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR 2019 "Un capolavoro di storia e memorie" Evening Standard "Superbo. Questo è un libro necessario: doloroso, straziante, tragico, ma anche edificante" The Times __________________________________________________ La piccola Lien non è stata portata via ai suoi genitori ebrei all'Aia, ma è stata data via nella speranza che potesse essere salvata. Nascosta e cresciuta da una famiglia affidataria nelle province durante l'occupazione nazista, è sopravvissuta alla guerra solo per scoprire che i suoi veri genitori non lo erano stati. Molto tempo dopo, ha litigato con la sua famiglia affidataria e Bart van Es, nipote dei genitori affidatari di Lien, sapeva di dover scoprire il perché. Il suo racconto delle tracce di Lien e della sua storia è un'esplorazione bruciante di due vite e due famiglie. È una storia di amore e incomprensione e di come le nostre esperienze più dolorose, così cruciali nel definirci, possano anche essere ridefinite.___________________________________________________ 'Luminoso, elegante, inquietante: l'ho letto tutto d'un fiato' Philippe Sands, autore di East West Street 'Profondamente toccante. Scrive con una semplicità e un understatement quasi sebaldiani' Guardian 'Sensazionale e avvincente. Fa luce su alcuni dei problemi più urgenti del nostro tempo' Giudici del Costa Book of the Year 2018.

Bart van Es was born in the Netherlands and is bilingual in English and Dutch. He now lives with his family in England. He is a Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of St Catherine's College. He has published three books, including, most recently, A Very Short Introduction to Shakespeare's Comedies.
The Cut Out Girl by Bart van Es has won the Costa Book of the Year 2018. Described as 'extraordinary' by the judges, The Cut Out Girl is the harrowing true story of a young girl's struggle to survive Nazi persecution, and a man's attempt to unveil his family's secrets.
Little Lien wasn't taken from her Jewish parents - she was given away in the hope that she might be saved. Hidden and raised by a foster family in Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation, she survived the war only to find that her real parents had not. Much later, she fell out with her foster family, and Bart van Es - the grandson of Lien's foster parents - knew he needed to find out why. His account of tracing Lien and telling her story is a searing exploration of two lives and two families. It is a story about love and misunderstanding and about the ways that our most painful experiences - so crucial in defining us - can also be redefined.
