In 1940, a young student watched silently as the German army marched through the streets of Brussels. Her beloved father was an emigre Russian Jew, her restless, difficult mother a Belgian Catholic. Possibly watching with less innocent eyes was the young man who was to become her husband. Dalia did not meet Dolf until after the war which her family was to survive and his didn't. For Dalia, it was love at first sight; she came to Australia because Dolf wanted a new world, and she continued to believe in the new world with all its new strangeness and beauty as they set up home in Melbourne. Love, she believed, would conquer all. Four children, two husbands, a suicide attempt and several careers later, Dalia Millingen examines those things that made her who she is. This book is a tribute to the depth and constancy of love, of how one person can shape another's destiny with trauma as much as love. Written with the lightest touch but touching upon the most profound subjects, one exceptional woman's search for understanding will illuminate the life of anyone who cares to read this.
