Marsha's review
The Speed of Light by Elizabeth Rosner (Goodreads author!)
This is a remarkable story of how three people, wounded by the memory of political violence, come to help each other begin to find a path out of darkness. Two are a brother and sister weighed down by the silences and pain of their Holocaust surviving parents. The third is a young woman from South America, sole witness and surviver of a military rampage which wiped out and destroyed her small village.
The author weaves the story out of each characters individual voice, in fact the font changes with each narrative. As their stories unfold, they also create a braid of interwoven realities. A very moving and thoughtful exploration of character and memory.
