«Il libro dei nomi perduti» is the historical novel by Kristin Harmel, published by Sperling & Kupfer in hardback (368 pages, in Italian).
In 2005, Eva Traube Abrams, a librarian about to retire, recognises in a newspaper an eighteenth-century book plundered by the Nazis that seems to contain a code. The narrative goes back to 1942: after fleeing Paris when her father is arrested, Eva settles in a border town and forges documents for Jewish children escaping to Switzerland. Together with Rémy, she records their real names in a coded book so they do not forget their identity. A story about memory, resistance and the power of books.
The work was originally published as The Book of Lost Names in 2020; this Italian edition, translated by Chiara Brovelli, belongs to the Pandora collection.
For those seeking historical fiction set during the Second World War, with plots of resistance, identity and the world of books.
Kristin Harmel is an American novelist. Her most notable works include The Book of Lost Names, The Forest of Vanishing Stars, The Sweetness of Forgetting, and The Paris Daughter.
