      About This Book

      In the attic of the house she has inherited from her grandparents, Bea finds a sealed envelope containing a manuscript written by a woman who, along with Bea's mother, was captured by the Russians in February 1945 and deported to a labor camp in Siberia. Bea starts to read it and at last, fifty years later, comes to know the circumstances leading up to her mother's death. She then meets Jacob Stern, a Berlin Jew who was the only member of his family to survive the war. Bea and Jacob's is a love story, though neither can find the language to break the silence and talk about the fate of their parents. Only during a trip to Russia do they at last find the words.
