In 1921, Francoise Frenkel - a Jewish woman from Poland - opens her
first bookshop in Berlin. It is a dream come true. The dream lasts
nearly two decades. Then suddenly, it ends. It ends after police
confiscations and the Night of Broken Glass, as Jewish shops and
businesses are smashed to pieces. It ends when no one protests. So
Francoise flees to France, just weeks before war breaks out. In
Paris, on the wireless and in the newspapers, horror has made
itself at home. When the city is bombed, Francoise seeks refuge in
Avignon, then Nice. She fears she may never see her family again.
Nice is awash with refugees and terrible suffering; children are
torn from their parents; mothers throw themselves under buses.
Horrified by what she sees, Francoise goes into hiding. She
survives only because strangers risk their lives to protect her.
Set against the romantic landscapes of Southern France, No Place to
Lay One's Head is a heartbreaking tale of human cruelty and
unending kindness; of a woman whose lust for life refuses to leave
her, even in her darkest hours.
