I will pronounce their names— Tamara Trottner

PRELOVED 

Where does family memory begin? In the blood that ignites our heart or in the hands that write what seems destined to disappear? A future writer hears the call of her lineage after the death of her grandparents. During the mourning, this narrator realizes that she is now the sole custodian of the most intangible and powerful heritage: her story.

In the anticipated prequel to Nadie nos vio partir, Tamara Trottner narrates the migration of her grandparents Moishe and Ana from Europe to America, when their families are forced to leave their familiar worlds behind to save themselves. Along their way, they encounter endearing or cruel characters, who seem to resist the passage of time and also haunt us in the present.

Through a tender and sharp gaze, a brave and sensitive listening, we witness the rescue of the future amidst a human catastrophe and cross the Atlantic Ocean to accompany the Trachtenbergs and the Wollochs in their fight against death and oblivion. The result: an intimate and universal story that reminds us why literature is a revolutionary path to peace and hope.
