Product Description
Writer Hadley Freeman investigates her family’s secret history in this “exceptional” The Washington Post “masterpiece” The Daily Telegraph uncovering a story that spans a century two World Wars and three generations. Hadley Freeman knew her grandmother Sara lived in France just as Hitler started to gain power but rarely did anyone in her family talk about it. Long after her grandmother’s death she found a shoebox tucked in the closet containing photographs of her grandmother with a mysterious stranger a cryptic telegram from the Red Cross and a drawing signed by Picasso. This discovery sent Freeman on a decadelong quest to uncover the significance of these keepsakes taking her from Picasso’s archives in Paris to a secret room in a farmhouse in Auvergne to Long Island to Auschwitz. Freeman pieces together the puzzle of her family’s past discovering more about the lives of her grandmother and her three brothers Jacques Henri and Alex. Their stories sometimes typical sometimes astonishing—reveal the broad range of experiences of Eastern European Jews during the Holocaust. This “frightening inspiring and cautionary” Kirkus Reviews family saga is filled with extraordinary twists vivid characters and famous cameos illuminating the Jewish and immigrant experience in the World War II era. Reviewers have asked “is there a better book about being Jewish” The Daily Telegraph Addressing themes of assimilation identity and home House of Glass is “a triumph” The Bookseller and a powerful story about the past that echoes issues that remain relevant today.
