Displaced Persons

Set among the people who were uprooted in postwar Europe, this novel centers on a community of Holocaust survivors. Each is trying to build a new life while carrying grief, anger, and memories of what they lived through, along with the suspicion and shame that others often attach to people from such a past. The book is less about heroes than about everyday people who endured an almost unimaginable period and must now find a way forward.

The characters' inner lives drive the story, and the narrative explores how memory, loss, and survival shape ordinary days in the aftermath of the Nazi era.
