AFTER LONG SILENCE(ISBN=9780385333702) 英文原版 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

　　To this day, I don't even know what my mother's real name

is.

Helen Fremont was raised as a Roman Catholic. It wasn't until she

was an adult, practicing law in Boston, that she discovered her

parents were Jewish--Holocaust survivors living invented lives. Not

even their names were their own. In this powerful memoir, Helen

Fremont delves into the secrets that held her family in a bond of

silence for more than four decades, recounting with heartbreaking

clarity a remarkable tale of survival, as vivid as fiction but with

the resonance of truth.

Driven to uncover their roots, Fremont and her sister pieced

together an astonishing story: of Siberian Gulags and Italian

royalty, of concentration camps and buried lives. After Long

Silence is about the devastating price of hiding the truth; about

families; about the steps we take, foolish or wise, to protect

ourselves and our loved ones. No one who reads this book can be

unmoved, or fail to understand the seductive, damaging power of

secrets.

媒体评论

　　"A story of safe but costly passage from one identity to

another that takes us from Europe to America via World War

II...[Fremont] has the intelligence and imagination to question her

own motives. This allows her to question the memoir form, even as

she deploys it so beautifully."

　　--The New York Times

　　"An extraordinary tale...eloquently written....Its complex

narrative weaves back and forth between past and present, the tale

and its discovery."

　　--The Philadelphia Inquirer

　　"Fascinating...A tragic saga, but at the same time it often reads

like a thriller filled with acts of extraordinary courage,

de*ions of dangerous journeys and a series of secret

identities."

　　--Chicago Tribune

　　"Riveting...painfully authentic...a poignant memoir, a labor of

love for the parents she never really knew."

　　--The Boston Globe

　　"Mesmerizing...Fremont has accomplished something that seems

close to impossible: She has made a fresh and worthy contribution

to the vast literature of the Holocaust."

　　--The Washington Post Book World
