À propos de cet audio
Born in Czechoslovakia, Mark Slouka's parents survived the Nazis only to be forced to then escape the Communist purges after the war. Smuggled out of their own country, the newlyweds joined a tide of refugees moving from Innsbruck to Sydney to New York, dragging with them a history of blood and betrayal that their son would be born into.
From World War I to the present, Slouka pieces together a remarkable story of refugees and war, displacement and denial, admitting into evidence memories, dreams, stories, the lies we inherit, and the lies we tell, in an attempt to reach his mother, the figure at the center of the labyrinth. Her story - the revelation of her lifelong burden and the 40-year love affair that might have saved her - shows the way out of the maze.

Dont miss this book!
I find myself listening to the first half of many books only to ditch them to start another. Not so with Mark Slouka's beautifully written story about his mother and their relationship. I empathized with his yearning to understand her and to answer the painful question-what happened? why did she stop loving me? With brave honesty, original (and funny ) language, and a well documented time line, the story captivated me until the very last sentence. I am now an ardent fan. Thank you Mr Slouka! PS. The narration was perfect. The reader knew how to present the story without inserting himself into it. Great work.
