An elderly woman revisits her life: a carefree childhood, then the yellow stars, the train to Treblinka waiting for her at the station in Kyustendil in 1943, adulthood in the People's Republic and old age today. Her fifteen-year-old granddaughter, who has emigrated to Canada, is fighting betrayal and loneliness of her own. Can the two find a way to each other, and will the bitter lessons carried across the decades help them? Following three generations of women, two mothers and a granddaughter, between Kyustendil and Montreal, the novel tells a family story of war, persecution and separation, but also of love and the will to live. It touches on the fate of Bulgaria's Jews, both those who survived and those who were deported, on being a stranger and an emigrant, and on how hard it is to stay good.
