Sobre este áudio
Longlisted for the 2011 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, Far to Go is a powerful and profoundly moving story about one family's epic journey to flee the Nazi occupation of their homeland in 1939, and above all, to save the life of a six-year-old boy. Czechoslovakia, 1939. Pavel and Anneliese Bauer, much like any other afluent Czech family, dote on their six-year-old son, Pepik, and enjoy a life of domestic comfort. Their nanny, Marta, could not adore Pepik more. But as rumours of the Nazi threat, and then the German troops, reach their corner of the Sudetenland, this charmed existence is turned on its head: for all that the Bauers barely consider themselves Jewish, their lives are now in danger.
Far to Go plunges us into the hearts of a family fleeing for their lives, and offered a desperate chance to save their child. Few novels have dealt with the story of the Kindertransport, and none with such insight into its complex legacy of hope, secrecy and loss.
A story about love, the painful choices it demands of us, and the way it endures, Far to Go is at once haunting and impossible to put down.
