'Jenni Daiches has astonishingly re-created a lost world... I wept and laughed and wished I had written it.'

HANNAH HOLTSCHNEIDER, UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH
About the book
Rosa Roshkin is five years old when her family are murdered in a pogrom and she is forced to leave behind everything she knows with only a suitcase of clothes and her father's violin.
An epic generational novel about womanhood and Judaeo-Scottish experience across two World Wars, the creation of Israel and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Jenni Daiches's Somewhere Else explores today's most difficult and urgent questions, not least of which: how to find identity in displacement.
