The Lost Shore by Anna Langfus
In the years after World War II, Maria, a young Polish woman living in Paris, drifts through life numb after the loss of her family. She forms a complicated attachment to an older man who takes her to the French south, where she tries to reconnect with ordinary life and seeks comfort among children and small human ties. Confronted with events that reopen her trauma, Maria must face her past and decide whether to accept help or try to rebuild on her own.
