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.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr.
