In EVA'S DAUGHTERS, an unexpected letter is the catalyst for a Passover and 50th wedding celebration in New York.
Hosts, Eva and Max Stern, are Holocaust survivors who met and married in a Displaced Persons camp after losing their families, including Eva's baby.
Hoping to find survivors, even after so many years, they advertise in several countries.
Two disturbing strangers appear without warning, bringing chaos and trauma to an already tense gathering.
REVIEWS: Eva's Daughters is a heartfelt story about one Holocaust survivor's struggle to come to terms with her past and build a positive present and future for her new family.
Marion Joseph writes with sincerity and in emotional detail about Eva's personal journey, and with sensitivity and empathy for all of her characters.
--Nora Gold, prize-winning author of Marrow, Fields of Exile, and The Dead Man Joseph's prose is measured and expressive.
The book straddles several genres--it's a novel of the Holocaust and of the immigrant experience, as well as a family saga--but it manages to feel intimate and contained.
[An] engaging story about loss and family.
-- Kirkus Reviews.
