“Love within the face of world adversity? It could not be extra well timed.” —Glamour
 
It’s the spring of 1939 and three generations of the Kurc household are doing their finest to dwell regular lives, even because the shadow of conflict grows nearer. The speak across the household Seder desk is of recent infants and budding romance, not of the rising hardships threatening Jews of their hometown of Radom, Poland. However quickly the horrors overtaking Europe will develop into inescapable and the Kurcs might be flung to the far corners of the world, every desperately making an attempt to navigate his or her personal path to security.
 
As one sibling is pressured into exile, one other makes an attempt to flee the continent, whereas others battle to flee sure demise, both by working grueling hours on empty stomachs within the factories of the ghetto or by hiding as gentiles in plain sight. Pushed by an unwavering will to outlive and by the worry that they might by no means see each other once more, the Kurcs should depend on hope, ingenuity, and interior energy to persevere.
 
A unprecedented, propulsive novel, We Have been the Fortunate Ones demonstrates how within the face of the 20th century’s darkest second, the human spirit can endure and even thrive.
