Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: As New. Synopsis: One of America's most acclaimed literary talents delivers a deeply moving, memoir-oriented novel about a German-Jewish family's attempts to resettle in the aftermath of World War II. From Publishers Weekly: "There is the landscape you are given and the landscape that you choose." So reflects 55-year-old Karl 16 years after emigrating from England to America in 1948 with his wife, Julia, and two young sons. Alternating narrative perspectives, the prolific Delbanco (Old Scores) brings together the voices of three generations of German Jews, weaving a history of a family's wanderingDtheir search for a hitching post for "the heart's geography." Karl and his elder brother, Gustave, left Hamburg for London when Hitler rose to power; Julia, Karl's wife, is from a wealthy background in Berlin, and had to cut short her studies when Jews were no longer permitted at university. At the war's end, Gustave and his family decide to stay in England, but Julia urges her young family to the leafy suburbs of Larchmont, N.Y., where she envisions more opportunities for her sons, Jacob and Benjamin. The boys recall their childhood in England, the bomb shelters and air raids interspersed in their memories with the trappings of childhood: a mother's powder puff, strawberry jam, milk chocolate obtained with a ration book. Coming of age between two countries and haunted by a third they do not know, the children are given pieces of the German language as their heritage. Here lies the deeper question of identity that haunts these reflective, lyrical narratives. Where is tradition if expatriation has been forced? What is at the heart of family when the threads of history fly loose? Elegiac and subtle, the book feels shadowed by memoir yet it is never obvious or heavy-handed. In these unhurried family tales, the theme of "who we are" will resonate for discriminating readers, especially those who appreciated Delbanco's recent The Lost Suitcase. Booksellers will enjoy recommending this quietly trenchant novel, which features a haunting, green-tinted jacket illustration that's going to lure browsers. 9-city author tour. (Nov.)
