Not Paradise

How do you live through traumatic experiences and survive them? What sort of courage does it take to confront a past of loss and suffering, and still find the strength and resilience to make a new start? Through the parallel stories of new beginnings by four women survivors of the Holocaust, and that of the author’s search to create a new life after the breakdown of her marriage, we experience intimately the process of transition. Despite individual struggles and grief, across the generations each woman has found a way of continuing to live a life of hope and fulfilment.
