In this evocative and emotional work, the poet, novelist, and human
rights activist Marjorie Agosin pays homage to her
great-grandmother, Helena Broder. As a young woman, Helena escaped
Vienna to seek refuge in Chile, leaving shortly after the Night of
Broken Glass in 1938 when the Nazi regime unleashed a campaign of
violence, terror and destruction against the Jewish population.
This book takes readers on Marjorie's journey through time and
space, and across thresholds between life, death and dreams, to
discover Helena's lost voice. This is not a linear journey, but one
that braids together the past, the present, and the future,
allowing Marjorie to give Helena, an exiled woman, a third home in
the liminal space of memory and literature; a safe haven where she
can be complete rather than fragmented, a place where her
"exhausted suitcase" can finally rest. This touching collection of
poems, in Marjorie Agosin's native Spanish together with Alison
Ridley's delicate English translation, is accompanied by images
from the Chilean photographer Samuel Shats, as well as poignant
memorabilia of Helena herself.
