A vivid and haunting coming-of-age memoir set in Paris in the 1980s.

  Synopsis Details Reviews  
Alba Arikha's father was the artist, Avigdor Arikha; her mother the poet, Anne Atik; her godfather, Samuel Beckett. Their apartment/studio, where Alba and her sister grew up, was a hub of literary and artistic achievement, which still reverberates today. Alba's tale is played out against the family memories of war and exile and the ever present echoes of the European holocaust.
