In this second book of her trilogy, Children of the Holocaust, Where She Came From and The Long Half-Lives of Love and Trauma, Helen Epstein reconstructs the lives of three generations of Central-European women: her great-grandmother Theresa; her grandmother Pepi and her mother Franci – all dressmakers. As in Children of the Holocaust, she creates a hybrid narrative that braids techniques of journalism, biography, and memoir, and provides a new perspective on the social and cultural history of Jewish women of the 19th and 20th centuries.
“With this family history, Epstein adds a vivid and telling chapter to the reconstruction of Jewish women’s history, one life at a time. The settings range from the Bohemian town of Brtnice; to the Belle Epoque Vienna of assimilated Jews; to newly independent and cosmopolitan Prague in the 1920s, where Pepi ran a fashion salon; to Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, and finally New York. It is a compelling account, one that any woman trying to recover her history will value.” — Kirkus Reviews
“In Epstein’s expert and sensitive hands, truth becomes not only stranger than fiction, but more magnetic, wise and powerful.” — Gloria Steinem
“Written with her superb talent for storytelling, her tale is profoundly human.” — Elie Wiesel
