SOMEDAY WE WILL FLY - RACHEL DEWOSKIN KARTONIER...

From the author of Blind  a heart-wrenching coming-of-age story set during World War II in
Shanghai  one of the only places Jews without visas could find refuge. Warsaw  Poland. The year
is 1940 and Lillia is fifteen when her mother  Alenka  disappears and her father flees with
Lillia and her younger sister  Naomi  to Shanghai  one of the few places that will accept Jews
without visas. There they struggle to make a life  they have no money  there is little work  no
decent place to live  a culture that doesn't understand them. And always the worry about
Alenka. How will she find them? Is she still alive? Meanwhile Lillia is growing up  trying to
care for Naomi  whose development is frighteningly slow  in part from malnourishment. Lillia
finds an outlet for her artistic talent by making puppets  remembering the happy days in Warsaw
when her family was circus performers. She attends school sporadically  makes friends with Wei
a Chinese boy  and finds work as a performer at a gentlemen's club without her father's
knowledge. But meanwhile the conflict grows more intense as the Americans declare war and the
Japanese force the Americans in Shanghai into camps. More bombing  more death. Can they survive
caught in the crossfire?
