This is a haunting story. Trudy has never understood her mother and does not know why her mother will never talk about her life. Many, many secrets. As I read this I thought, what would I have done in Anna's place. Who saved who and what were they saved from? Heartbreaking questions with no clear cut answers. Trudy' journey to a partial understanding of Anna is hard to read and yet compelling. I found the story slow to unfold but then it grabbed me and I did not want to put it down.
