As World War II winds to a close, Europe's roads are
clogged with twenty million exhausted refugees walking
home. Among them are Jacob and Sarah, lonely Holocaust
survivors who meet in Heidelberg. But Jacob is consumed with
hatred and cannot rest until he has killed his brother’s
murderer, a concentration camp guard nicknamed "The
Rat." Now he must choose between revenge and love,
between avenging the past and building a
future.
Martin Fletcher, who won the National
Jewish Book Award for Walking Israel, proved his
chops as a novelist with The List, which was selected
as the One Book, One Jewish Community title for the city of
Philadelphia. Now, in Jacob's Oath, Fletcher brings
us another touching novel of love, loyalty, and
loss, set in the aftermath of the Holocaust.
