Send for Me
by Lauren Fox
A lovely, quiet novel of mothers and daughters (and granddaughters) that begins with eighteen-year-old Annelise in the decade before World War II, working in her parent's bakery and experiencing her first love. The novel moves back and forth in time and place to a more contemporary America as Annalise, seeing the building persecution of the Jews in her city, escapes to Wisconsin with her husband and daughter, becoming displaced persons, refugees.
Fox writes beautifully in this largely character-driven novel that explores families, family trauma, memory, heritage, racism, and how we find out way in life -- sometimes by others making decisions that alter our paths, sometimes by our desires, and sometimes by the ties that bind us.
