EMPTY CORNERS

Lucy Gould


The poet Alex Skovron writes of this book, “Lucy Gould recounts her life with a courage and clarity born of insight. Her journey – from innocent girlhood in a Poland torn by war and clouded by its aftermath, through the vicissitudes of migration to Israel and Australia, and into the somewhat troubled years beyond – is a story of survival, renewal and self-discovery, to which the author’s relationship with her mother weaves a compelling counterpoint. For me, the book struck an especial chord in its exploration of childhood and Jewish identity.” Well-crafted and compelling.
