Early on a grey November morning in 1941, only weeks after the
German invasion, a small Ukrainian town is overrun by the SS. Deft,
spare and devastating, Rachel Seiffert's new novel tells of the
three days that follow and the lives that are overturned in the
process. Penned in with his fellow Jews, under threat of
transportation, Ephraim anxiously awaits word of his two sons,
missing since daybreak. Come in search of her lover, to fetch him
home again, away from the invaders, Yasia must confront new and
harsh truths about those closest to her. Here to avoid a war he
considers criminal, German engineer Otto Pohl is faced with an even
greater crime unfolding behind the lines, and no-one but himself to
turn to. And in the midst of it all is the determined boy Yankel
who will throw his and his young brother's chances of surviving to
strangers. A Boy In Winter is a story of hope when all is lost, and
of mercy when the times have none.
