Hardback. Zustand: Good. Translated from the Dutch by Stacey Knecht Published in Europe to tremendous critical acclaim, this richly imagined international bestseller weaves a gloriously inventive and very human story about man's constant drive from the Old World to the New--and his desire, despite everything, for home and homeland The worst winter blizzard the East Netherlands has seen in many years has left Nathan Hollander and his niece, Nina, snowbound in the deserted house of his late Uncle Herman. But they are not alone: Apart from Chaim and Magnus, two seventeenth-century family ghosts, there is another presence, unknown and unfriendly. As they wait for the storm to subside, Nathan and Nina piece together the story of their forefathers, a family of itinerant Jewish clockmakers who came to the Netherlands from Eastern Europe, and then fled to America in 1939. An extraordinary family history emerges, as well as many unsolved mysteries: For instance, what happened to the brilliant Zeno, who became a leader of a messianic sect and then vanished without a trace; why did Uncle Herman, a respected academic, end up dying in such undignified circumstances--underneath an eighteen-year-old call girl?

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Into its 120 pages, Moring folds a war memoir, a family psychodrama and a meditation on time and memory. It is a miracle of compression: everything is significantone races through it, eager to discover the heart of the mystery. Guardian The story of a family mother, father (ex-World War II pilot), twelve-year-old son David who live above a toy shop in a small town on the windswept Dutch coast. On the same day that David finds himself listening to the toy shop owner complaining that he cant sell model aeroplane kits any more because kids nowadays are too lazy to glue all the pieces together, Davids father quits his job in a fit of pique and pride. A few hours later, his mother comes home, having left her job too. So, David devises a plan and before the day is over the whole family is at home, putting model aeroplanes together. A wonderful, perfect summer ensues, suddenly interrupted by the arrival of an unexpected visitor, his fathers old friend from the war. His arrival revives old feelings of loyalty, love and hatred and ensures that nothing will ever return to a perfect state again. Accessible, warm, funny and wise, this novel was a massive bestseller in Morings native Holland. A gem of a story, it has the fable-like appeal of a Miss Garnets Angel (but without the middle-Englandness) or of Bernard Schlinks The Reader (but without the heavy moral overtone).The book is most reminiscent of J.L. Carrs A Month in the Country, the Booker Prize-winning English novel set just after World War I, heavy with nostalgia, evocative, melancholy. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. …
