Description
March 1944: War’s darkest period descends upon Hungary’s Jews. By the time it ends, over half a million Jews will have been murdered. Gratitude tells the story of that period, through a group of people whom terrible circumstance has thrown together, and of lives and loves saved and lost.
A brilliant exploration with deep humanity of the complexities of the human psyche in its darkest hour.
JOSEPH KERTES was born in Hungary but escaped with his family to Canada after the revolution of 1956.

His first novel, Winter Tulips , won the Stephen Leacock Award for Humour. His third novel, Gratitude , won a Canadian Jewish Book Award and the U.S. National Jewish Book Award for Fiction. Kertes founded Humber College’s distinguished creative writing and comedy programs. He is currently Humber’s dean of creative and performing arts.
