Austerlitz

by W. G. Sebald, Anthea Bell, James Wood

Sent to England on a Kindertransport in 1939, five-year-old Jacques Austerlitz is raised by foster parents who erase his identity. Decades later, now an architectural historian, he is forced to confront his past and explore his long-forgotten origins.
