The Fortunate Ones

Angebote / Angebote:

Vienna, 1939: As the specter of war darkens Europe, Rose Zimmer’s parents are desperate. Unable to get out of Austria, they manage to send their young daughter on a Kindertransport to live with strangers in England. Los Angeles, present day: Lizzie Goldstein returns home for her father’s funeral, grief-stricken and shouldering a sense of guilt she cannot displace. When Lizzie and Rose meet, they discover that the same Chaim Soutine painting has been stolen from them both—and has never been recovered. As the two women share their stories, and the sense of loss the painting sparks in them, they begin to forge a friendship that will release both from the long-held burdens they carry. Spanning decades and unfolding in crystalline, atmospheric prose, The Fortunate Ones is a haunting story of longing, devastation, and forgiveness, and a deep examination of the bonds and desires that map our private histories.
