This novel follows the disparate paths of four men forced into exile by the rise of Nazism and the onset of World War II. One, a teacher dismissed for his Jewish ancestry, finds himself conscripted into the German army. The others, all Jewish, include a surgeon who struggles to adapt to British society, an artist, and a man who becomes a butler in New York, each grappling with their new realities and lost identities.

W. G. Sebald

Winfried Georg Sebald was a German writer and academic. At the time of his death at the age of 57, he was being cited by many literary critics as one of the greatest living authors and had been tipped as a possible future winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. In a 2007 interview, Horace Engdahl, former secretary of the Swedish Academy, mentioned Sebald, Ryszard Kapuściński and Jacques Derrida as three recently deceased writers who would have been worthy laureates.
