Book
The Polish Girl / Malka Adler ; translated by Noel Canin.
Winter 1939: Danusha and her family are forced to flee their home when the Nazis invade Poland. Danushas mother, Anna, changes her name and secures a position as a housekeeper in a German doctors mansion. All Anna ever wanted was a firstborn son. All Danusha ever wanted was a mother who would love her like a firstborn son. It is only years later, when their neighbours gather in the living room to hear Annas stories, that Danusha finally realizes her mother was never a cold unknowable sea, but a storm-wracked sky - sometimes bright, sometimes dark, and always watching over her.
