Sign in for personalised guidanceThis is a historical story of survival and displacement, told through Devorah’s experience as she leaves Poland and begins again in South Africa.
Devorah fears forgetting her parents and later realises that keeping the past alive is not solely her responsibility.
Devorah is reluctant to leave Poland for South Africa, where she eventually finds happiness again.
The story includes an attack on Jewish neighbours, mass death, orphanhood, illness and famine, followed by separation when the sisters are adopted apart. These events may be emotionally intense.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
