"In My Mother's House" is a beautiful, haunting, and expertly told
novel about a daughter's obsession to understand her mother's
commitment to silence about their family's experiences during WWII
Vienna. The story of Elizabeth and her mother Jenny is remarkable
for its fullness of details: the pieces of family silver the
grandmother mails to Jenny, piece by piece, over the years; Jenny's
vivid memories of her uncle's viola d'amore lessons; the smell of
the wood floors in the family's Vienna home. It's an emotional
story of what is inherited from one generation to the next.
