(5 stars; 1 reviews)

Deborah Goldber and her Great Uncle Sol are on a pilgrimage to Bialystok in Poland. It is 1996 and the country is now more welcoming to tourists. Tourists bring dollars. Dariusz, a local guide, is happy to help them uncover what little remains of Bialystok's Jewish past. Unbeknown to them he has also arranged for another "tourist" to join their party- Lorna Harris, a retired librarian from Kent. Lorna has a mysterious agenda of her own in seeking out the past and her presence is deeply intrusive for Deborah. The journey for all three brings to the surface complex questions about forgiveness and tolerance.
