Interesting historical novel about what happened to the lucky few who survived the Holocaust and managed to smuggle themselves to "Palestine". Under British control the refugees were, again, held in internment camps albeit under more humane conditions. The continuing anti-semitism of the Brits is explored, as is the difficulty many had readapting to a semblance of life. An afterward makes the delineation between true history and fiction somewhat confusing. The story is interesting, the writing is very basic and flat. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Four young women haunted by unspeakable memories and losses, afraid to begin to hope, find salvation in the bonds of friendship and shared experience even as they confront the challenge of re-creating themselves in a strange new country. Based on the extraordinary true story of the October 1945 rescue of more than two hundred Jewish prisoners from the Atlit internment camp outside Haifa.

The story centers on four of the women and explores their backstories as well as their experiences in adjusting to a new life in Zion. It is the best Diamant I have found since falling in love with The Red Tent, which I count as her signature work. I did feel involved with each of the women, mourn their losses, and care about their futures. It was a quick read with a satisfying ending. What you want most for these women is a chance to live a life of happiness that will negate some of the pain and horror that they have experienced in their young lives. The first step for them is being able to connect with one another and those connections are believable in Diamant’s hands.
