Summary
Bloomsbury presents Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels, read by Anne Michaels.
Jakob Beer is seven years old when he is rescued from the muddy ruins of a buried village in Nazi-occupied Poland. Of his family, he is the only one who has survived. Under the guidance of the Greek geologist Athos, Jakob must steel himself to excavate the horrors of his own history.
A novel of astounding beauty and wisdom, Fugitive Pieces is a profound meditation on the resilience of the human spirit and love's ability to resurrect even the most damaged of hearts.
Critic reviews
"Monumental [...] Fugitive Pieces is the most important book I have read for 40 years." (John Berger, Observer)
"‘This is a novel to lose yourself in; let the language pour over you, depositing its richness like waves lapping sand onto a beach. Michaels is a novelist of unusual and compelling power." (Erica Wagner, The Times)
"‘Essential reading, both for its exceptional literary craft and for its exemplary and inspiring humanity." (Spectator)

Rare Poetic Prose
Uncomparable prose subtly layering feeling upon feeling in the reader. A magnificent work of art.

Outstanding story , loved the book. Vv boring narration.
I read this book 20 +years ago ?1997?Loved it , gave it to all my friends for Christmas & Birthday presents that year.
Am about to choose it for ‘MY’ next book club choice , new friends ,not read it . Thought I would listen to book on Audible.
I am so disappointed… Anne Michaels chose to read it herself …WHY.? Sorry Anne your narrative is really BORING. I gave up after First Chapter. Why do Authors think they are best at speaking their words ? That is what Actors do.
