Smuggled out of their own country, the newlyweds joined a tide of refugees moving from Innsbruck to Sydney to New York, dragging with them a history of blood and betrayal that their son would be born into.From World War I to the present, Slouka pieces together a remarkable story of refugees and war, displacement and denial-admitting into evidence memories, dreams, stories, the lies we inherit, and the lies we tell-in an attempt to reach his mother, the enigmatic figure at the center of the labyrinth. Her story, the revelation of her life-long burden and the forty-year love affair that might have saved her, shows the way out of the maze. 8 pages of illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51824523411744,"sku":"NEW039335475X","price":26.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51XtgE2XroL.jpg?v=1781213616","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/nobodys-son-a-memoir-039335475x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
