"I read this recently — it’s a small and significant book. It’s the autobiographical account of a teenage boy who journeys through the Nazi death camps with his father, desperately clinging to life and each other when humanity has become perversely distorted. It’s almost beyond human and beyond language. When I read it, I wondered how someone would interpret this story if they dug it up in ancient ruins centuries from now. Could it be true? What are we capable of in terms of cruelty and survival?"

Through a case of mistaken identity, Clara accidentally lands the post of Lady’s Maid to the wealthy Carnegie family. For the sake of her family back in Ireland, Clara must play the part or lose everything.
