Ambassador Mayer’s lyrical, autobiographical novel about a Jewish family’s life on the run in Nazi-occupied France.
Winner of the 2014 French WIZO Prize
“…an almost breathless, stream of consciousness [work], in which facts, memories, dream fragments, and thoughts are woven together into a single, delicate, sensitive tapestry…thrilling and out of the ordinary.”—Makor Rishon (Israeli weekly)
“…an account of what it really meant—hour by hour, mile by mile—to save one’s life by seeking refuge…By giving a voice to his heroic mother, Mayer has honored not only her memory but her courage and strength. And, more than that, he has given names to those men, women and children who would otherwise be forgotten.”—LA Jewish Journal
