An original, intriguing novel
*Sunday Times*
In this haunting what-if, David Gillham asks us to reflect on the
quandary of how one learns-in the unimaginable wake of the
Holocaust-to live again, shedding a powerful, human light on the
tragedy of lost potential
*Georgia Hunter, author of We Were the Lucky Ones*
Gillham strikes a deft balance between describing the life of an
ordinary teenager - going to the cinema, arguing with adults - and
the more difficult task of imagining one living with the legacies
of extreme trauma
*i*
Gillham's beautifully crafted novel is a respectful tribute to the
creative and passionate writer who died so young. Highly
recommended
*Library Journal Starred Review *
I can't wait for Gillham's next novel - play it again, Sam
*Stephen King*
In this moving and masterful debut, David Gillham brings war-torn
Berlin to life and reveals the extraordinary mettle of women tested
to their limits and beyond. Powerful and piercingly real. You won't
soon forget these characters
*Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife, on City of Women*
David Gillham's excellent new novel is built on one of the most
extraordinary and faithful recreations of a time in history -
Berlin in World War II - that I've ever read
