Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - PARIS, 1971In the basement of Shakespeare and Company, Sophie Hadad--a restless Wellesley student from Charleston, West Virginia, motherless and adrift--uncovers a forgotten valise. Inside lies the diary of Anna Grinberg, a Jewish sculptor born in Warsaw in 1900, orphaned when her father is murdered in a pogrom and her mother is claimed by the Spanish flu.PARIS, 1922Anna arrives in the city with nothing but her will to create. Her diary is fierce, intimate, and unsparing--alive with the pulse of Les Années Folles, when Montparnasse cafés throb with painters, sculptors, and expatriate writers reinventing art and language. She fights to carve a place among Pascin, Bourdelle, and Frenkel; finds allies in Sylvia Beach and AdrienneMonnier; and collides--dangerously--with Ernest Hemingway. Even in those incandescent years, she senses the gathering shadow over Europe and writes as if time itself were fragile.Half a century later, Sophie bends over Anna's words and feels them press against her own life.

Together they tell a story of art, exile, and Jewish survival--passed not through monuments or archives, but from one woman's hand to another--across time.…
