Binding Memories

Viac o knihe

Nora Jacoby is scalded by memories of a Manchester childhood with her Holocaust survivor parents, who are far too angry to love her. Abandoning Manchester, she becomes a sought after bookbinder in Jerusalem in the 1980s. But rejection is hardwired into into her soul. The wires are jolted after her father's sudden death and she finds herself in Prague, the birthplace of her ancestors. In this haunted city, Nora stumbles into the present with a gentle Czech dissident. This is a novel about the pain of generations. It is also a love story of great tenderness and grace.
