In 1948, a little girl sits smiling on a Parisian carousel – for the first time she experiences a moment of carefree childhood. Her parents are Holocaust survivors; Lily Brett was born just after the end of World War II in a DP camp in Feldafing. The writer Lily Brett artistically explores the trauma she inherited in a remarkable way, marked by gentle humor rather than bitterness or anger. Not as an accuser, but as a bridgebuilder.
