In his most personal book to date, bestselling author Andreas Kossert follows in the footsteps of his grandmother Elsa to Łódź, Poland. Drawing on her story, he paints an intimate family portrait, and—almost as an aside—weaves a sweeping panorama of Central European history, told with great power and sensitivity.
