What Nina knew

A gripping family drama about betrayal, love, and forgiveness - by the award-winning author David Grossman.

Three women - Vera, her daughter Nina, and her granddaughter Gili - grapple with an old family secret that is revealed only after half a century. On Vera's 90th birthday, celebrated grandly in the kibbutz, 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? And 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 literary skill transforms it into a captivating novel.
