BOOK SYNOPSIS
This taboo-breaking book deepens the understanding of the death of one's parents through the experiences of the author, a daughter of Holocaust survivors. Her parents never communicated their imprisonment experiences, causing Lydia Flem to grow up in a stifling silence that was finally broken upon their deaths as she emptied the old house. She discovers that the lonely process of bereavement is not only one of grieving, but a chaotic jumble of emotions that range from anger and oppressive, infinite pain to revulsion, remorse, and a strange sense of freedom.
BOOK REVIEWS
"Flem's meditation deserves to take its place in that select library, alongside Tennyson's In Memoriam and C. S. Lewis's A Grief Observed." The Sunday Times
