A searing portrait of trauma, lost youth, and lifelong resilience, Hidden: Nistar by Batya Casper exposes the intergenerational cost of war in two powerful novellas. From the discovery of a devastating secret that shakes a Jewish family’s sense of identity to a wartime peek into English life amongst the falling bombs of World War II, these snapshot stories delicately examine the emotional weight of conflict and violence. The narrative exposition is subtle but immersive, and Casper captures tragic and timeless emotions in compelling flourishes of prose.
