GRANTEE
Three women have lived next door to each other in the “Blue House” throughout the war. They hardly know each other, only occasionally greeting one another on the stairs or near the elevator, but this neighborhood forms a strange, silent commonality: all three have lost something that cannot be restored.
The Blue House is a novel about memory growing through silence. It is not only about the war, but also about how personal stories collide with the larger historical landscape, and about what happens when women stop being mere witnesses and become carriers of memory. This is a book about silence that needs to be learned to be heard and about memory that wants to be understood, not forgotten.
