From the bestselling author of The Red Tent and The Last Days of Dogtown, a moving, powerful, and haunting novel about four women who survived the Holocaust and must find a future. Just as she gave voice to the silent women of the Old Testament in The Red Tent, Anita Diamant creates a cast of breathtakingly vivid characters--young women who escaped to Israel from Nazi Europe--in this intensely dramatic New York Times bestseller. Based on the extraordinary true story of the October 1945 rescue of more than 200 prisoners from the Atlit internment camp, a prison for "illegal" immigrants run by the British military near the Mediterranean coast, Day After Night is told through the eyes of four young women with profoundly different stories. All of them survived the Holocaust: Shayndel, a Polish Zionist; Leonie, a Parisian beauty; Tedi, a hidden Dutch Jew; and Zorah, a concentration camp survivor. Haunted by unspeakable memories and losses, afraid to begin to hope, Shayndel, Leonie, Tedi, and Zorah find salvation in the bonds of friendship and shared experience even as they confront the challenge of re-creating themselves in a strange new country. A triumphant and unforgettable story of tragedy and redemption, Day After Night reimagines a moment in history with such stunning eloquence that readers will be haunted and moved by every devastating detail.
