Amanda Hodgkinson was born in Burnham-on-Sea, England, and lives with her husband and two daughters in a farmhouse in the southwest of France. This is her first novel.
"A riveting historical novel, set in post-WWII England, about a
Polish couple reunited after enduring-and committing-crimes of love
and war."
-"O, the Oprah Magazine"
"Hodgkinson's debut is an eloquent, heart-wrenching account of one
couple's struggle to reunite as a family after devastating wartime
experiences. A stellar example of literary WWII fiction."
-"Booklist "
"What comes after surviving? asks Hodgkinson in her ambitious,
emotionally incisive first novel threaded with primitive human
instincts for safety and companionship. Hodgkinson enters boldly
into well-trodden, sensitive territory and distinguishes herself
with freshness and empathy."
-"Kirkus" (starred review)
"Fans of novels like "The Guernsey Literary" and "Potato Peel
Society" and "Sarah's Key", who can never have too much of a good
war story, will warm to this fine debut. Recommended."
-"Library Journal"
