      Každé zaklopanie na dvere môže znamenať koniec Píše sa rok 1943 a šestnásťročná Stefania pracuje v obchode u Diamantovcov v poľskom mestečku Przemyśl. Je zaľúbená do Izia, jedného zo synov. Mladý pár svoj vzťah tají, pretože ona je katolíčka a Diamantovci sú Židia, ale nevzdávajú sa nádeje, že raz im osud dožičí byť spolu. S vpádom nemeckej armády do krajiny sa všetko zmení. Rodinu vysťahujú do geta a Stefania ostáva sama v okupovanom meste, kde sa stará o šesťročnú sestru Helenu. A potom ktosi zaklope na dvere. Je to Max Diamant. Počas transportu do vyhladzovacieho tábora vyskočil z vlaku a žiada o pomoc. Stefania v tej chvíli urobí jedno z najzásadnejších rozhodnutí v živote a Maxa ukryje. Po ňom ešte ďalších dvanásť Židov. Každý deň pritom tŕpnu, či sa neozve búchanie na dvere, ktoré by znamenalo koniec pre všetkých. Svetlo v úkryte je knižným spracovaním skutočného príbehu dvoch sestier, ktoré zachránili trinásť ľudských životov a riskovali pritom vlastnú smrť.

      Sharon Cameron delivers another immersive, heartbreaking, uplifting historical novel, set in postwar New York City. In 1946, Eva leaves behind the rubble of Berlin for the streets of New York City, stepping from the fiery aftermath of one war into another, far colder one, where power is more important than principles, and lies are more plentiful than the truth. Eva holds the key to a deadly secret: Project Bluebird -- a horrific experiment of the concentration camps, capable of tipping the balance of world power. Both the Americans and the Soviets want Bluebird, and it is something that neither should ever be allowed to possess. But Eva hasn't come to America for secrets or power. She hasn't even come for a new life. She has come to America for one thing: justice. And the Nazi that has escaped its net. Critically acclaimed author of The Light in Hidden Places, Sharon Cameron, weaves a taut and affecting thriller ripe with intrigue and romance in this alternately chilling and poignant portrait of the personal betrayals, terrifying injustices, and deadly secrets that seethe beneath the surface in the aftermath of World War II.

      In the French filmmaker Robert Bresson’s cinematography, the linkage of fragmented, dissimilar images challenges our assumption that we know either what things are in themselves or the infinite ways in which they are entangled. The “bond” of Sharon Cameron’s title refers to the astonishing connections found both within Bresson’s films and across literary works by Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Kafka, whose visionary rethinkings of experience are akin to Bresson’s in their resistance to all forms of abstraction and classification that segregate aspects of reality. Whether exploring Bresson’s efforts to reassess the limits of human reason and will, Dostoevsky’s subversions of Christian conventions, Tolstoy’s incompatible beliefs about death, or Kafka’s focus on creatures neither human nor animal, Cameron illuminates how the repeated juxtaposition of disparate, even antithetical, phenomena carves out new approaches to defining the essence of being, one where the very nature of fixed categories is brought into question. An innovative look at a classic French auteur and three giants of European literature, The Bond of the Furthest Apart will interest scholars of literature, film, ethics, aesthetics, and anyone drawn to an experimental venture in critical thought.
