The Rest Is Memory: A Novel
A fictionalized account of the haunting true story of fourteen-year-old Czeslawa Kwoka, The Rest is Memory is a profound depiction of humanity’s darkest hour through the eyes of a child.
The heartbreaking story of a young Catholic girl transported to Auschwitz becomes a Rashomon-like rondo by one of our greatest novelists.

"The Rest Is Memory is a literary resurrection, as shattering as it is astonishing. Lily Tuck has done the impossible; from darkness and hideous cruelty, she has woven an unforgettable paean to hope, to life, to justice." —Junot Diaz
