Leo Gursky struggles to exist in modern day New York. Sixty years ago in Poland, he fell in love and wrote a book which unbeknown to him survived and now haunts the imagination of fourteen-year-old Alma, who was named after his main character. His and her story unfold in tandem revealing the lies, half truths and passions of the past. Funny, moving, tantalising and entirely believable. Everything you could want from a great read.
