The Holocaust–six million Jews murdered. Then the war is over, a remnant is saved, and all drift back into the normal world. But for those who survived and their children, it is never over. Duvid's sons, born in Israel, raised in Montreal, grow up haunted by their father's memories. They overhear whispered secret stories from that war in disconnected bits and pieces. These simply add to their confusion.
September 1939. Duvid sees his family carried off by the Nazis, and can do nothing. His life takes many turns–he survives the death camps, becomes a partisan, and settles in Israel, and finally Canada, silent about the past. On his death, his sons follow the clues their father has left–a packet of written fragments secreted away in a suitcase for close to 40 years–and find the impossible.
Gravitational Fields is a lyrical story, an epic tale of family, adventure, survival, and especially, love.New arrivals on shop books
