Synopsis
Four young Jewish women who have just survived the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust are placed in a British internment camp in Palestine where they form a fierce friendship despite their wildly different experiences during the war: Shayndel was a Zionist idealist and member of the Polish underground, the ravishing Leonie lived out the war in Paris where she harbored a horrible secret, Tedi was hidden from the Nazi in the Netherlands, and the stricken Zorah witnessed the worst of humanity in the concentration camps. Through their friendship, the begin to recover emotionally from the scars of war, and dream again of freedom, escape, and a new home. Bestselling author Anita Diamant has written a moving, compulsively readable novel, based in many cases on real historical events.

Industry Reviews
"Diamant opens a window into a time of sadness, confusion and optimism that has resonance for so much that's both triumphant and troubling in modern Jewish history."
(07/06/2009)
"[E]xtraordinary...Diamant once again gives us strong women, wonderful women, inspirational women, who overcome unimaginable obstacles. Thanks to Diamant, we can believe that anyone can start anew."
(09/06/2009)
"Anita Diamant's...novel offers all the satisfactions found in her previous works...: rich portraits of female friendship, unflinching acknowledgment of life's cruelty and resolute assertion of hope, enfolded in a strong story line developed in lucid prose....DAY AFTER NIGHT demonstrates the power of fiction to illuminate the souls of people battered by the forces of history."
(09/09/2009)
"[T]he circumstances, setting and generous sensibility of [Diamant's] book [are] compel[ling]....One senses...[her] expertise on Jewish tradition...and her familiarity with both Holocaust experiences and the psychology of Holocaust survivors. Indeed, the factual details of the novel are so persuasive and interesting (if troubling) they make one long for the nonfiction book Diamant might also have written....It is clear that much of what Diamant presents is informed by her thorough knowledge of Atlit itself."
(10/05/2009)
"Anita Diamant...tells the story of Holocaust survivors....Their stories are as diverse as their personalities, but they all share survivor's guilt. This is a compelling account of pain and hardship linked to one of history's great tragedies."
