"A powerful story... with poignant lessons about choices and consequences." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews
"Imagine Stephen King wrote Schindler's List..." ~ Nikki
Every family holds to secrets, but some are far darker, reach deeper, and touch a rawer nerve than others.
Vanesa Neuman is the daughter of Holocaust survivors, and her childhood in the cramped intimacy of south Tel Aviv is shadowed by her parents’ unspoken wartime experiences. The past for her was a closed book… until her father passes away and that book falls literally open. Vanesa must now unravel the mystery of the diary she has received—and the strange symbol within—at all costs.
Set against the backdrop of the Nazi occupation and the Jewish Museum of Prague—Adolf Eichmann’s “Museum of an Extinct Race”—Galerie is fast-paced historical fiction in the tradition of Tatiana De Rosnay’s Sarah’s Key. From Jerusalem’s Yad V’Shem Holocaust research center, to the backstreets of Prague, and into the former “paradise ghetto” of Theresienstadt, Vanesa’s journey of understanding will reveal a darker family past than she ever imagined—a secret kept alive for over half a century.
PERFECT FOR BOOK CLUBS: A book club guide is included at the end of the story.
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a thrilling work of historical fiction that examines how Holocaust horrors still resonate generations later, and how even deep wounds of betrayal can ultimately heal. [DRM-Free]

Und jetzt etwas ausführlicher zum Grund. Ja, "Galerie" beinhaltet ist eine hervorragende schriftstellerische Idee, die sich in eine Reihe anderer Werke mit alternativen Vergangenheiten stellen könnte. Leider ist dieser Versuch, jedenfalls für mich, ziemlich misslungen. Da sind solche Kleinigkeiten, wie das Bestehen der "Galerie" mitten im Herzen von Prag und durch 45 Jahre kommunistischer Überwachungspolitik, nur der Beweis, dass der Autor keine Ahnung von der Verhältnissen in kommunistischen Diktaturen hat. Aber das ist noch das Wenigste und ließe sich verschmerzen. Schlimmer ist es, dass der Autor versucht die gesamte Geschichte der Juden und des Holocaust zusammen mit einer gesamten Familiengeschichte in ein Buch zu quetschen. Dies war ihm nicht vergönnt, er kann sich nicht in eine Reihe mit Mann oder Dostojewski oder Tolstoi stellen, die Ihre Familiengeschichten in umfassende zeitliche und gesellschaftliche Bezüge brachten. Dazu kommt der Hang des Autors ständig zwischen unterschiedlichen Zeiten und Handlungsorten hin und her zu springen. Mehr Bescheidenheit und einfaches Weglassen von Nebensträngen hätte dem Buch mehr als gut getan. Für mich zweifelhaft ist auch sein Stil. Der Autor liebt es anscheinend, Wiederholungen zu verwenden. Zu oft kommt man an Stellen wie: "She had no time to.....She had no time to.....She had no time to.....She had no time to.....
Schade um eine verschenkte Idee.


This, for me, could so easily have been a 5 star book and is ruined by the constant jumping around with dates. I don't mind books that refer to the past, but it's a different time frame in every chapter and keeping up the interest is hard going. In addition, I found the writing very pretentious with the author clearly loving the "sound of his own voice". The story is good though and I did want to get the end, but why make it such hard work for the reader?
