Synopsis
'A haunting, beautifully written lament for the isolating power of love.' (Financial Times) Every year Elisabeth Danziger travels to the Danish island of Mn to spend a week at The Tamarisks, a lavish hotel which was once her family's second home. Elisabeth stays in the same room and walks familiar paths. She visits the local museum; she unscrews the panel of an old bath tub to retrieve the crumbling piece of paper on which is written her name and that of Daniel Eberhardt, her beloved cousin. Elisabeth's annual pilgrimage is part of a longstanding family promise to meet again in Mn after their separation during the war. Only she has fulfilled the promise, and she has no reason to suspect this year will be any different from all the others... 'Winningly written in unshowy but graceful prose, full of precise observations and unexpected lines. A compelling book with a surprise ending.' (Observer)

From Publishers Weekly
Once again Elisabeth Danziger has made her annual visit to The Tamarisks, her childhood summer home on the Danish island of Mon. The house has long since been turned into an expensive hotel, but Elisabeth scarcely notices the guests and the changes that have occurred. For 15 years, since WW II ended, she has been coming here to explore the secret hiding places of childhood, run her hands across initials long ago carved in trees and visit the local museum to peer at artifacts that once belonged to her family. Almost as an aside, Taylor ( Swann Song ) reveals that this colorless, unassuming woman is a concentration camp survivor. Her seemingly bizarre actions are in fact part of a carefully planned ritual. As a young woman, Elisabeth fell in love with her cousin, also German and Jewish. Before the Holocaust overtook them, they vowed to be reunited at The Tamarisks one August after the war ended; Elisabeth alone has returned every year to keep the appointment. Taylor's terse, clear prose is always readable, but she is so parsimonious in doling out information about her characters that the tear-jerkingweb climax doesn't have the devastating effect she seems to have intended.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Every year Elisabeth Danzinger - an unassuming yet resolute middle-aged woman - travels to the Danish island of Mn to spend one week at a lavish hotel called The Tamarisks, which was once, fifteen years ago in 1945, her family's beloved second home. With each annual visit, Elisabeth stays in the same room and unfailingly carries out the same routine: she walks familiar paths; she visits the local museum to peer at artefacts that once belonged to her family; she relocates an old bench underneath which her fingers to find the long-ago carved initials 'E' and 'D'; and she even unscrews the panel around an old bath tub in order to retrieve a piece of crumbling paper on which is written her name and that of Daniel Eberhardt - Elisabeth's cousin, with whom she was very much in love. As Elisabeth revisits the places of childhood, her family's devastating history is slowly revealed and we soon discover her annual pilgrimage is part of a long-standing family promise to meet again in Mn after the War. A promise that only she has fulfilled, and she has no reason to suspect this year will be any different from all the others. A vibrant and unsentimental novel about the love and resilience of a family damaged by war. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
