In this story of love and loss, Wertenbaker explores the longing for identity, the despair of fragmentation, and the fragile hopes of lives redefined. “Alexander...has escaped persecution and made it into Britain. Three years later his indomitable mother, Petra, arrives at Heathrow in search of him. Eventually, mother and son meet in a confrontation of irreconcilable attitudes: the one embodies an intransigent... nationalism, the other the necessary assimilation of the exile. As always, Wertenbaker is unafraid to tackle big issues.” (The Guardian, London)
