About This Item
New York:: St Martin's,, (2012). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First US printing. A noir novel by this award-winning author set in Auschwitz and straddling the past and present. In New York, "the present: An old woman and her husband sit down for a breakfast of black bread and coffee at a table set for ten. Eight chairs remain empty. Auschwitz, Spring 1944: Following a successful escape from the camp, a group of ten prisoners are rounded up for execution. Since the camp needs every inmate for labor, only one prisoner will be sacrificed. And it is the job of the other nine prisoners, locked up in an empty building in Block 11 with nothing but a piece of paper and pencil, to decide by dawn who will die. Otherwise they will all go to the gallows. A book which wrestles with questions of guilt and forgiveness, selfishness and sacrifice, in this unforgettable novel set during the most trying of times." Translated from the Italian by Erin Waggener. Glosary. 232 pp.
