Just when I thought I had heard of most of the twists and turns related to the Holocaust, another facet is discovered. This novel, based on a true situation, tells the story of four young women who go to Israel after World War II. They were placed by the British in Atlit, an internment camp for “illegal” immigrants. We learn about life at the camp, the different paths which brought the women to Atlit, and their life afterwards. It is a richly told story by the author of The Red Tent.
