Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A highly acclaimed piece of work from the late novelist and academic, which was one of the literary publishing events of 2001, and which was selected as Book of the Year by a number of key authors and reviewers, such as John Banville, Alain de Botton, Boyd Tonkin and Anita Brookner. An epic study of wartime and childhood from an author widely regarded as one of Europe's finest, whose life was tragically cut short by a motorcycle accident in December, 2001.

Synopsis:

The real life story of Jacques Austerlitz who, at the age of 5, came to London on one of the so-called kinder-transports in the summer of 1939. After a lifetime avoiding his past, it finally returns to haunt him - forcing him to explore what happened to him half a century previously.
