The Shawl

En savoir plus sur le livre

In the middle of winter, weak and starving, Rosa marches to a Nazi concentration camp. She clutches her baby to her chest, wrapped in a shawl. Later Rosa will stuff the shawl into her mouth to stop herself from screaming out at the horrific event she must witness. Thirty years later, in a summer without end, Rosa is in Miami. In her anger and grief, a shawl conjures the spirit of her murdered child. A modern classic in two acts, The Shawl imagines the unimaginable: the horror of the Holocaust and the unfillable emptiness of its aftermath
