Was Nina wusste

There are decisions that tear a life apart – who could tell this story more compellingly and tenderly than David Grossman?

Three women – Vera, her daughter Nina, and her granddaughter Gili – grapple with an old family secret: On Vera's 90th birthday, Gili decides to make a film about her grandmother and travels with her and Nina to Croatia, to the former prison island of Goli Otok. There, Vera is supposed to finally tell her life story in full. What exactly happened back then when she was arrested by the Yugoslav secret police under Tito? Why was she willing to give up her six-and-a-half-year-old daughter and go to the camp instead of buying her freedom with a confession? "What Nina Knew" is based on a true story. David Grossman's mastery turns it into a gripping novel.
