Description
Fugitive Pieces is a powerful and moving novel about a young boy's survival and resilience in the face of unimaginable loss. Jakob Beer, the sole survivor of his family, is rescued from the ruins of a Polish village and finds refuge with a scientist and humanist, Athos Roussos, on a Greek island. The novel's second part follows Ben, a young professor, as he meets Jakob and his wife Michaela, and becomes drawn into their story. As Ben learns more about Jakob's past, he begins to understand the profound impact of the war on the human spirit, and the ways in which love and poetry can heal even the most damaged of hearts. With its stunning beauty and profound wisdom, Fugitive Pieces is a deeply moving exploration of the human condition, one that will stay with readers long after they finish the book.
