      When Kate and Cameron move into a house on Border Street, they have no idea how deeply they will connect with their elderly Czech-Australian landlords, Frank and Vera, who live next door. Kate's curiosity about her new neighbors leads her to form a strong bond with Frank. As she spends more time with him, she becomes eager to learn about his past, uncovering a dark European history that transforms her perspective. Frank gradually shares his experiences, revealing the harsh realities of genocide and the profound loneliness faced by survivors who lost their families during the 1940s. This encounter compels Kate to confront her own tragedy, teaching her that life is often beyond our control. The novel is a beautifully crafted exploration of survival and friendship, highlighting the unlikely connection between individuals separated by decades and continents. The vivid characters and their authentic experiences resonate long after the final page is turned, offering readers a poignant reflection on the lasting effects of history and the bonds that can form in unexpected places.
