Haya Tedeschi sits alone in Gorizia, in northeastern Italy, surrounded by a basket of photographs and newspaper clippings. Now an old woman, she waits to be reunited after sixty-two years with her son, fathered by an SS officer and stolen from her by the German authorities as part of Himmler's clandestine Lebensborn project. From this broad collage of material and memory arises the staggering chronicle of Nazi occupation in norther Italy. Written in immensely powerful language and employing a range of astonishing conceptual devices, Trieste is a novel like no other.
