Trieste by Daša Drndić
The novel intricately weaves together the haunting history of the Holocaust with the personal story of Haya Tedeschi, an elderly woman in Trieste who is searching for her son, taken from her during World War II as part of the Nazi Lebensborn program. Through a blend of historical documents, photographs, and narrative, the book explores themes of memory, loss, and the enduring impact of war. As Haya sifts through the fragments of her past, the novel paints a poignant picture of the atrocities of war and the resilience of those who endure its aftermath.
