At the behest of his agent, renowned author Yoel Blum reluctantly agrees to visit his birthplace of Amsterdam to meet with his Dutch publisher, despite promising his late mother that he would never return to that city. While touring the Jewish Museum with his wife, Yoel stumbles upon a looping reel of photos offering a glimpse of pre-war Dutch Jewish life, and is astonished to see the youthful face of his beloved mother staring back at him, posing with her husband, Yoel's older sister, Nettie...and an infant he doesn't recognize. This unsettling discovery launches him into a fervent search for the truth, revealing Amsterdam's dark wartime history and the underground networks which hid Jewish children away from danger-but at a cost. The deeper into the past Yoel digs, the better he understands his mother's silence, and the more urgent the question that has unconsciously haunted him for a lifetime-Who am I?-becomes. Evocative, insightful, and deeply resonant, House on Endless Waters beautifully illustrates the complex nature of identity and belonging, and the inextricability of past and present"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20210106. 650 1 $a Mothers and sons $x Fiction. 650 $a Holocaust survivors $x Fiction. 650 $a Authors, Israeli $v Fiction. 650 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $z Netherlands $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 700 $a Berris, Anthony, $e translator. 700 $a Yechiel, Linda, $e translator. 730 $a Bayit ʻal mayim rabim $l English. 941 $a 4 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710050705.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012015326.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060142.0 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20210601010802.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A79795D2C29E11EB8BB6CF4559ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
