The author was ten when her mother vanished from her life. Some sixty years later a faded scrap of card sends her hunting through archives, photographs and memories of survivors, from Safed in the 1930s to a village in northern Hungary and British-ruled Jerusalem, and she fills the gaps with intuition and invention to recover a young woman from Galilee who died young.
