OUT-OF-PRINT. "'Sacha, by her death, seemed to have taken my life with her as well. Because of the strange circumstances of our existence - she had been the only witness to all the important events of my life. Now, with that witness gone, it was as though the past had begun to grow dim and dissolve. Until that moment I had not realised the importance of witnesses. And the importance of stories. When Sacha told me stories about her childhood and youth she was doing so in part because she herself had never had any parents. When she told me stories about my childhood it was because I had no brothers and sisters, no grandparents, aunts and uncles who had known me from my earliest years. Now she is gone and I have tried to tell her story I find a kind of calm descending on me and I have begun to reconstitute my own.' Part memoir, part biography, part autobiography, this remarkable book is also an exploration of the role of memory and story-telling in our lives. At the same time it is an account of the life of an immensely strong, resourceful, yet vulnerable woman, who was born into the comfortable world of wealthy Egyptian Jewry before the First World War, who, with her infant son survived the Second World War in France, and who ended her days in the peace and quiet of the English countryside; and of an extraordinary relationship between mother and son which spanned more than fifty years. " (Publisher), Hardcover, Edition: 1st, Label: London Magazine Editions, London Magazine Editions, Product group: Book, Published: 2001-02-28, Studio: London Magazine Editions, Sales rank: 4542242.
