Helen Fremont (Author), Gabra Zackman (Narrator)
A luminous family memoir from the author of the critically acclaimed Boston Globe best seller, After Long Silence, lauded as "mesmerizing" (The Washington Post Book World), “extraordinary" (The Philadelphia Inquirer), and "a triumphant work of art" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
In the tradition of Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home or George Hodgman’s Bettyville, Fremont writes with wit and candor about growing up in a household held together by a powerful glue: secrets. Her parents, profoundly affected by their memories of the Holocaust, pass on, to both Helen and her older sister, a penchant for keeping their lives neatly, even obsessively, compartmentalized, and a zealous determination to protect themselves from what they see as danger from the outside world.
In a family devoted to hiding the truth, Fremont learns the truth is the one thing that can set you free. Scorching, witty, and ultimately redemptive, The Escape Artist is a powerful contribution to the memoir shelf.
