Hardback. Condición: Good. Fascinating . . . A tragic saga, but at the same time it often reads like a thriller filled with acts of extraordinary courage, descriptions of dangerous journeys and a series of secret identities.--Chicago Tribune 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. Praise for After Long SilencePoignant . . . affecting . . . part detective story, part literary memoir, part imagined past.--The New York Times Book Review Riveting . . . painfully authentic . . . a poignant memoir, a labor of love for the parents she never really knew.--The Boston GlobeMesmerizing . . . 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.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. A luminous family memoir from the author of the critically acclaimed Boston Globe bestseller, After Long Silence, lauded as ?mesmerizing? (The Washington Post Book World), ?extraordinary? (The Philadelphia Inquirer), and ?a triumphant work of art? (Publishers Weekly, starred review).In the tradition of Alison Bechdel?s Fun Home or George Hodgman?s Bettyville, Fremont writes with wit and candor about growing up in a household held together by a powerful glue: secrets. Her parents, profoundly affected by their memories of the Holocaust, pass on, to both Helen and her older sister, a penchant for keeping their lives neatly, even obsessively compartmentalized, and a zealous determination to protect themselves from what they see as danger from the outside world. She delves deeply into the family dynamic that produced such a startling devotion to secret keeping, beginning with the painful and unexpected discovery that she has been disinherited in her mother?s will. In scenes that are frank, moving, and often surprisingly funny, Fremont writes about growing up in such an intemperate household, with parents who pretended to be Catholics but were really Jews?survivors of Nazi-occupied Poland. She shares tales of family therapy sessions, disordered eating, her sister?s frequently unhinged meltdowns, and her own romantic misadventures as she tries to sort out her sexual identity. In a family devoted to hiding the truth, Fremont learns the truth is the one thing that can set you free. Scorching, witty, and ultimately redemptive, The Escape Artist is a powerful contribution to the memoir shelf. …
