The Light After the War: A Novel

Many of the stories of the Holocaust that I have read are about the atrocities that took place. The Light After the War by Anita Abriel begins at the end of the war. Vera and Edith's journey from Hungary to Naples is revealed slowly in flashbacks. The scars of war they both carry gradually emerge and carry through the story. The remainder of the story is about relationships - good and bad - and about careers. It reads in many ways like a romance about a young woman making her way in life.
