Leo Gursky taps his radiator each evening to let his upstairs neighbor know he?s still alive. But it wasn?t always like this: in the Polish village of his youth, he fell in love and wrote a book. . . . Sixty years later and half a world away, fourteen-year-old Alma, who was named after a character in that book, undertakes an adventure to find her namesake and save her family. With virtuosic skill and soaring imaginative power, Nicole Krauss gradually draws these stories together toward a climax of ?extraordinary depth and beauty? (Newsday).
