Description

Lore Segal's memoir, Other People's Houses, recounts her experiences as a child refugee in Britain after fleeing Nazi-occupied Austria. For seven years, she lived with various families, struggling to cope with the trauma of her past and the responsibility of helping her parents secure visas. Segal's story is one of remarkable resilience and compassion, evoking the complexities of a child uprooted from home and forced to navigate unfamiliar lives among strangers. Her account offers a deeply personal and nuanced exploration of the human experience during times of war and displacement. This book provides a powerful and moving portrayal of one young person's journey towards healing and belonging in a new country.
