Description

Connective Tissue explores the complex web of family history and identity through two interconnected stories. In 2010, Helena's newborn son is born with unexplained paralysis, prompting her to seek answers in her Jewish grandmother's past. Meanwhile, in 1937, single mother Dora struggles to find belonging in a city increasingly hostile towards those with uncertain backgrounds.

Based on extensive research into the author's own family history, this novel delves into themes of migration, motherhood, and our need to understand the people and places that shape us. With its richly drawn characters and nuanced exploration of identity, Connective Tissue is a powerful and moving portrayal of the human experience.
