As this post WWII story begins Silvana and her son Aurek (who is 8) have boarded a ship that is traveling from Poland to England. They are going to be reunited with Silvana's husband Janusz. Although this seems as if it should be a happy reunion there are reservations on both sides of the channel because it has been six years since they were a family. It was a Red Cross official who informed Janusz that his wife and son had been found in a Refugee camp and warned him that they were not in great shape because they had been living in a forest. This is the story of three people trying to be a family again. The past holds many secrets for both husband and wife - and they can't speak about the things they have survived. I really enjoyed this book and you will too if you like books set in this era.
