"Across three generations, three wars, two continents, and the mythic waters of the Mediterranean, one family's history leads to an inevitable question: What price do our descendants pay for the choices that we make? Na̐ma knows Algeria only by the artifacts she encounters in her grandparents' tiny apartment in Normandy: the language her grandmother speaks but Na̐ma can't understand, the food her grandmother cooks, and the precious things her grandmother carried when they fled. Na̐ma's father claims to remember nothing; he has made himself French. Her grandfather died before he could tell her his side of the story. But now Na̐ma will travel to Algeria to see for herself what was left behind--including their secrets." --Amazon.
