Losing the Dead | Lisa Appignanesi

2 posts | 1 read

As her mother slipped into the darkness of old age, Lisa Appignanesi began to realise how little she knew of the reality behind the tales she had heard since childhood. She had shunned her parents' stories of war-time Poland, but now she set out to find the truth. In her quest she flew to Warsaw - imagining and revisiting a past she never knew. This is the moving story of the Jews who survived outside the camps, but it is also the author's own voyage of self-discovery - a family memoir of the rites of passage of emigration, childhood, and growing up an outsider in a closed community

Losing the Dead | Lisa Appignanesi

I longed to bury the past and its traces. Above all, I longed to be as ordinary as all my suburban friends. They had nice, bland, bridge-playing, club-going parents.

EvieBee @Donna_sBookMinute Have you read any of her books? 7y

Donna_sBookMinute I haven't yet. But I really want to read "Our Spoons Came from Woolworths." "There's another book ..." was probably not the right choice of words because it can mean more than one thing. I meant a book other than the one in your post. The English language. ? 7y

EvieBee @Donna_sBookMinute Haha! Oh gotcha. Yes! I want to read Our Spoons...also but I still need that one. 7y
