A compelling psychological, literary thriller exploring the legacy of the Holocaust in modern-day Britain; What provokes tragedy? Memory? Despair? The past? The future? The culmination of events? A single moment? In Michael Mail's mesmerizing new novel, the themes that haunted his celebrated first book, Coralena, are explored again - to even greater, devastating effect. Suzy, a young, enthusiastic photography student, embarks on an ambitious project, taking her back into her family's neglected East End roots and the ageing Jewish community still there. As she photographs the synagogue's eccentric congregation, she falls under the spell of their charismatic leader, Eli, who captivates her with tales of the area's rich heritage and his own bitter memories. But as their friendship develops, so too do their obsessions, until, too late, she sees danger through the lens.
