Sarah attempts to solicit from her father all he knows about Gaglow: the three lucky sisters, Bina, Martha, and Eva; their masterly governess, Fraulein Schulze; their father, Wolf Belgard, a prosperous Jewish grain dealer; their mother, Marianna, a "vulgar woman" whose children privately mocked her; and their older brother, Emanuel, wretched from the family to serve his country.
Alternating between Sarah's life and her grandmother's childhood during the First World War, Summer at Gaglowunites four generations of an extraordinary family across the vast reaches of silence, place, loss, and time.
