By Anita Diamant

Just as she gave voice to the silent women of the Old Testament in The Red Tent, Anita Diamant creates a cast of breathtakingly vivid characters -- young women who escaped to Israel from Nazi Europe -- in this intensely dramatic novel.

Day After Night is based on the rescue of more than 200 prisoners from the Atlit internment camp, a prison run by the British Military for "illegal" Jewish immigrants near the coast north of Haifia. This unforgettable story is told through the eyes of four young women at the camp with profoundly different stories.

Diamant's new book is a story of tragedy and redemption, and a novel that re-imagines a moment in history with stunning elegance.
