A vivid, immersive, historical saga from beloved Australian author Suzanne McCourt. Henryk reached out to embrace him, formally, awkwardly. How rarely they' d touched since childhood, thought Adi, as he sank against his brother. How clumsy their love was. Brothers Henryk and Adam Radecki' s relationship is one of fraught love and jealously. Henryk, unhappily married, becomes a rich and successful industrialist, while Adi, a devoted vet, finds and loses love. Their bond is tested throughout their lives, from the 1920s, against the background of Poland' s tragic and tumultuous relationship with Russia, through war, revolution and invasion, until 1954 in the Snowy Mountains of Australia. Adi' s wife and son are at the heart of this riveting tale, in which family secrets threaten to tear lives apart. Caught up in momentous events, each character reminds us of our power to survive extraordinary times, of the moral choices we make and the dramatic turns our lives can take. Beautifully written, full of the detail of everyday life, its joys and suffering, The Tulip Tree is engrossing historical fiction at its best, a profoundly moving story of love, sacrifice and loyalty.
' A breathtaking family saga, set in the darkest of times, about the struggle to love and the courage to go on. ' * Tim Costello AO * ' I commend this book, with its superbly drawn characters, to any reader who still believes that the novel can take us on an unparalleled journey. ' * Robert Hillman, author of The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted * ' A moving story of how one family survives a horrendous period in history, and of the secrets they carry with them into the future. ' * Joan London, author of The Golden Age * ' A beautifully written novel about betrayal and forgiveness (especially of ourselves), about suffering and survival, about the baggage we take with us, and what we leave behind. ' * Cynthia Banham, author of A Certain Light * ' Fresh with the cadences of everyday life and history, The Tulip Tree is a tender and moving exploration of one family' s fault lines and its enduring connections across time. ' * Dominic Smith, author of The Last Painting of Sara de Vos * ' A tale of love, loss, and resilience. Told with compassion and wisdom, The Tulip Tree reminds us how, even after the most crushing defeat, hope can survive and renewal is possible. ' * Eva Stachniak, author of The Chosen Maiden * ' Gripping and at times heart-wrenching. . . will keep you turning the pages. ' * Big Book Club * ' A vivid, challenging and utterly absorbing feat of storytelling, The Tulip Tree asks what moral compass can guide souls united by love but riven by doubt, secrets, betrayals and terror, and its questions reverberate through our own times. ' * Jane Sullivan, author of Storytime *
