Critique Status

Not Critiquing

I'm currently writing...

an historical novel based on the Kindertransport (evacuation of Jewish children from Germany, Austria, and Poland). The story is a composite, and the main character is not identifiable. She is a young girl who went from Berlin to England, and the story chronicles the results of trauma, survivor guilt, etc. later in life.
