Germany is changing fast and the only route is out, even if you have to leave behind a troublesome mother


When Hedda Israel escapes from Germany, her first challenge is to secure her mother's release from a concentration camp. Still a teenager, Hedda falls for Peter Carter, an English psychiatrist engaged in war-work, and a romantic life awaits. But when awkward Alice joins her daughter in England and starts to make a little extra 'on the side', Hedda's chance of love is almost certainly over.


Burying the Ghosts is based on the true story of the author's mother who escaped Nazi territories. The story spans five decades from her youth to her later years when past ghosts are finally put to rest. It explores themes of prejudice, refugees and identity, mother and daughter relationships, forgiveness and guilt. When the whole world is against you, what can daughters expect of their mothers, mothers of their daughters and lovers of each other?
