Once the Deed Is Done

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

'Exploring the pain and confusion of displaced persons at the end of the Second World war, which hardly any novels have done yet. I read with great pleasure' Tim Pears 'Such a beautiful and powerful book, emotional yet unsentimental. Rachel Seiffert's focus on a small, rural town in North Germany, from Burgermeister to abandoned baby unforgettably reminds us of the cost of war' Lucy Jago 'She has brought to life a complex interaction between survivors on both sides with humanity and compassion. I love that her novels take me to unexplored places and times' Linda Grant 'The language has a directness that gives it something of the feel of myth or fable. A complex, intelligent, deeply compassionate novel. Brilliant piece of story-telling - stubbornly hopeful' Andrew Miller 'Prose that is so lucid, so understated . . . this entire novel reverberates in ways that only haunt the reader more and more deeply, long after its last page' Paul Harding
