A bitter secret divides each mother and daughter pair, though Gili-- abandoned by Nina when she was just three--has always been close to her grandmother. With Gili making the arrangements, they travel together to Goli Otok, a barren island off the coast of Croatia, where Vera, then a young widow, was imprisoned and tortured for three years after she refused to betray her husband's memory and denounce him as an enemy of the people. This unlikely journey--filtered through the lens of Gili's camera, as she seeks to make a film that might help explain her life--lays bare the intertwining of fear, love, and mercy, and the complex overlapping demands of romantic and parental passion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593312599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.19w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Man Booker International Prize - Nominee","brand":"David Grossman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42132478230709,"sku":"9780593312599","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b489f00d-a192-44a1-ad37-704edd13c909.jpg?v=1652813600","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/more-than-i-love-my-life-9780593312599","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
