Read by Diana Toeman (1 Cd) David Baddiel's third novel takes us into a little known and still somewhat submerged area of British history: the internment of German Jewish refugees on the Isle of Man during the Second World War. Isaac Fabian, on the run with his young family from Nazism, comes to Britain assuming he has found asylum, but instead finds himself drowning in the morass of ignorance, half- truth, prejudice and suspicion that makes up government attitudes to German Jews in 1940. A haunting and beautifully written tale of love, displacement and survival.
