An Estate of Memory by Ilona Karmel
Not yet another holocaust story, this book is searched for by investigators on this subject. Not morbid, though powerful, it tells the story of four very different women, their reliance on each other in a work camp, their selfishness, their unselfishness. It's utterly gripping, so differently written and absorbing due to the altering relationships of the four women that I can't begin to summarise its fascination.
(Ange Guttierez Dewar - bwl 5 October 2000 )
