About the
Book #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
In 1940, Jakob Beer, a seven-year-old boy, bursts from the mud of a war-torn Polish city, where he has buried himself to hide from Nazi soldiers who have killed his family. Though he should have died with his family, he not only survives but is rescued by a Greek geologist. With this electrifying backdrop, Anne Michaels propels us into her rapturously acclaimed novel of loss, memory, history, and redemption.
"Lovely...musical and magical.... Put this book alongside The English Patient." --Chicago Tribune
"Word by blessed word, it is a gorgeously written book: aflame with the subzero cold of history and the passions of emotional comprehension."
"Fugitive Pieces deserves to become a classic."
