Meet Alison Pick, author of Far to Go, on November 9th at 6:30pm for a wine and cheese reception.
Inspired by her grandparents’ own extraordinary story and
the exploration of her father’s once-hidden roots, Alison Pick delivers a moving and suspenseful novel about an affluent Jewish—but totally assimilated—family in World War II Czechoslovakia and the governess that seeks shelter in their midst, forever altering their future. FAR TO GO (Harper
Perennial; Trade Paperback Original) expertly intertwines past with a modern-day narrative, through which the protagonists’ fates are slowly revealed.
Alison Pick is the author of four books, including FAR TO GO, long-listed for the Man Booker Prize and winner of the Canadian Jewish Book Award.
