內容簡介
內容簡介 Can two women save each other from the ghosts of their past or will history claim them both? From the war-shadowed streets of Eastern Europe to the uneasy calm of American suburbs, CHOSEN FAMILY follows Perle, a child shaped by danger, loss, and the fierce love of a father torn away in the night. When she meets Myrna wild, brilliant, and unstoppable they are bound instantly, two girls clinging to each other in a world that has already taken too much. Across decades, continents, and revolutions, their bond becomes the one constant in a life marked by trauma, migration, political upheaval, and the echoing presence of the dead. Perle sees the world through the shimmer of spirits and symbols; Myrna charges through life with reckless hope and righteous fury. Together they form a family built not by blood, but by choice-a sanctuary against the rise of authoritarianism, the failures of their mothers, and the heartbreak that follows them both. As new threats loom and the past resurfaces, Perle and Myrna must confront the truths they've outrun: the cost of survival, the price of silence, and the question that has followed them since childhood... How do you heal when the world won't stop breaking? CHOSEN FAMILY is a sweeping, fiercely intimate novel about friendship, resilience, exile, and the people we choose when the ones we love are taken away. For readers of Louise Erdrich, Elena Ferrante, and Bernardine Evaristo, this is a story of enduring love in a world on fire. Turn the page and step into the bond that shapes a lifetime.
