description: "The ordeal of Hungarian Jewry during WWII, survivor guilt, and the unbridgeable distances between people yearning to connect-these are the major motifs sounded in this brisk, elegiac second U.S. appearance by the Dutch author of The Twins . . . . A consummate dramatization of the impenetrable mysteriousness of other people's convincing proof that de Loo is one of Europe's most accomplished novelists."- Kirkus Reviews , starred "Fascinating. . . . Yet another way to understand the effects of war, the tangled, muddled absurdity of it, how its traces remain in the blood for generations."- Los Angeles Times Tessa de Loo was born in the Netherlands and writes in Dutch. She lives in Portugal and Paris.
