The day we were happy

A captive novel based on real events. A stunning debut, which became the bestseller The New York Times. The Goodreads Prize nominee in the categories “Best Debut” and “The Best Foreign Prose”.

at the age of fifteen, Georgia Hunter found out that her family had survived the Holocaust. So on the pages of the book in heartbreaking details, the true story of her family came to life.

1939 divides the life of the family of the Kureta into “before” and “after”. At first, no one believed that violence and horror could knock on the door of their house, but the shadow of war hangs over them and other Jews in Poland more and more distinctly. Soon the family will disintegrate, and each of the curtains will go its own way. The stories of three generations at once with a kureta come out of one point and end in different parts of the planet.
