Frances Stonor Saunders wrote The Suitcase.
Frances Stonor Saunders's The Suitcase is a compelling literary memoir that solves the mystery of a small suitcase that her late father left behind. What starts as a personal journey through loss and family history becomes a dramatic look at exile, identity, and silence that covers war-torn Europe, being forced to leave your home, and the emotional scars that generations carry.
The Suitcase is a detective story of the heart that is also a deep reflection on what we carry and what we leave behind. It is elegant, intimate, and well-written.
Book Set
