Gluckman ann (7 Ergebnisse)

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. A very clean copy. Family history from the mother of Sir Peter Gluckman. In 2004, workmen demolishing the home that had housed three generation's of Ann Gluckman's family saved an old cardboard box hidden under the eaves. The letters inside proved invaluable to Ann's painstaking 20-year work piecing together the family history, which had, like the letter, been largely concealed.

Their story was further revealed by the discovery of a set of beautiful postcards originally mailed to the Manoys from their homeland. These postcards sent Ann's detective story on a wider and deeper search for meaning. Why did her family conceal their past with a a lifetime of silence? Was there a mystery, something to hide, or were they shielding their descendants from past traumas.…
