    About this ebook

    "A well-crafted tale about trauma and miracles." -Kirkus Reviews

     

    Nicky Covo is a Holocaust survivor. In 1990, Nicky - a Brooklyn psychiatrist - receives a letter from Abbess Fevronia, the head of a women's monastery in Greece. Although Nicky believes the rest of his family died at Auschwitz, he learns that Theodora, a mysteriously silent nun who's lived at the monastery since 1944, may be his baby sister, Kal. With his old friend and new love, Helen, Nicky returns to Greece - to harrowing memories of his fighting with the partisans and to a reunion with his beloved sister. The Flight of the Veil explores the intersections of guilt and memory, faith and tragedy, fate and miracle.

      While it has a very strong flavour of Where the Crawdads Sing, this novel is far more than a copycat of that mega bestseller. What both books have in common is that they are about young women living in the wilderness, but this one is a World War II a
