Description
«Cierro los ojos y trato de escuchar lo que algún día me platicó mi viejo. Viene un nombre a mi memoria. Lo escribo en Google. Aparecen un lugar, un barco, un apellido.» ¿Dónde empieza la memoria familiar? ¿En la sangre que enciende nuestro corazón o en las manos que escriben lo que parece destinado a desaparecer? Una futura escritora escucha el llamado de su estirpe tras la muerte de sus abuelos. Durante el duelo, esta narradora constata que ahora ella es la única depositaria de la herencia más intangible y poderosa: su historia. En la esperada precuela de Nadie nos vio partir, Tamara Trottner narra la migración de sus abuelos Moishe y Ana de Europa hacia América, cuando sus familias se ven forzadas a dejar atrás sus mundos conocidos para salvarse. En su camino, se cruzan personajes entrañables o crueles, que parecieran resistir al paso del tiempo y acecharnos también en el presente. A través de una mirada tierna y aguda, de una escucha valiente y sensible, asistimos al rescate del futuro en medio de una catástrofe humana y cruzamos el océano Atlántico para acompañar a los Trachtenberg y los Wolloch en su combate contra la muerte y el olvido. El resultado: una historia íntima y universal que nos recuerda por qué la literatura es una vía revolucionaria de paz y esperanza. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “I close my eyes and think back to what my grandfather told me. A name comes to mind. I Google it and discover a place, a boat, a last name.” Where does family memory begin? In the blood that feeds our hearts or in the hands that write stories destined to disappear? Following the death of her grandparents, an aspiring writer feels the past calling her. As she mourns, she realizes that she is the only heir to an intangible and powerful legacy: her family’s story. In this long-awaited prequel to No One Saw Us Leave, Tamara Trottner recounts the journey of her grandparents, Moishe and Ana, from Europe to America. Their families must abandon the world they know to save their lives. Along the way, they meet a varied cast of characters, some lovable, some cruel, who are instantly relatable in our times as well. Through Trottner’s sharp-eyed but compassionate prose, we witness the safeguarding of the future amid a human catastrophe, as the Trachtenbergs and the Wollochs cross the Atlantic Ocean to defy death and oblivion. The result is personal but universal story that reminds us of the role of literature in attaining hope and peace.
