Publisher's summary

Born in Czechoslovakia, Mark Slouka's parents survived the Nazis only to be forced to then escape the Communist purges after the war. Smuggled out of their own country, the newlyweds joined a tide of refugees moving from Innsbruck to Sydney to New York, dragging with them a history of blood and betrayal that their son would be born into.

From World War I to the present, Slouka pieces together a remarkable story of refugees and war, displacement and denial, admitting into evidence memories, dreams, stories, the lies we inherit, and the lies we tell, in an attempt to reach his mother, the figure at the center of the labyrinth. Her story - the revelation of her lifelong burden and the 40-year love affair that might have saved her - shows the way out of the maze.
