«In this insightful book, Stephanie Homer interrogates how different genre conventions (memoir, autobiographical fiction and novels) influence the representation of the Kindertransport. Her theoretical approach is sophisticated, her selection of texts judicious and representative. Homer’s contribution to the study of the reception history of the Kindertransport is important and timely.»(Bill Niven, Professor of Contemporary German History, Nottingham Trent University)«An immensely valuable intervention into studies of Kindertransportrepresentations, this book invites readers into the ambiguities of memory.With clarity and confidence, the book explores the liberating creativepotential of autobiographical fiction and polyphonic fictional voices whichhave reimagined the places and perspectives on Kindertransport as amigratory experience and literary compulsion.
