This remarkable true story begins in the Polish city of Krakow in 1890 and spans one hundred years and four continents. God blessed Lieba and the devout Jewish patriarch Daniel Baldinger with eleven children‚ and this richly textured portrait follows their lives down the decades‚ through the terrifying years of the Holocaust‚ to the present time. Lives that personify the struggles and hopes of their century.
MOSAIC is compelling storytelling at its best: from the fascinating detail of Polish-Jewish culture and the rivalries and dramas of family life‚ to its moving account of lives torn apart by war and persecution‚ this is an extraordinary story of a family‚ and of one woman's journey to reclaim her heritage.
'MOSAIC flows like a novel‚ which once started‚ is hard to put down. It is a compelling family history of extraordinary people out against some of the most frightening events of our century. The depth of emotions evoked is stunning. I was thrilled and deeply moved' Joseph Heller‚ author of CATCH 22
