Selected as an Editors’ Choice by the Historical Novel Society, “Come Back For Me” is a gripping story of trauma, loss and the redemptive power of love set in the aftermath of World War II. Artur Mandelkorn is a young Hungarian Holocaust survivor on a desperate quest to find his beloved sister, Manya. Intersecting Artur’s tale is that of Suzy Kohn, a Toronto teenager in the late 1960s whose tranquil life is shattered by her uncle’s sudden death. Their seemingly disparate stories come together in Israel following the Six-Day War, as the narrative travels through time and place to arrive, ultimately, at the connections between generations.
Like Tatiana De Rosnay’s “Sarah’s Key,” Sharon Hart-Green’s debut novel “Come Back For Me” deals evocatively with the scars left by tragedy and the possibilities for healing.
