«La huida» is Kathryn Lasky's young adult novel, published by Ediciones SM in the Gran Angular collection, in paperback (158 pages, in Spanish).
Rachel persuades her great-grandmother Nana Sashie to tell her about her youth in tsarist Russia. Among those memories appear the persecution of the Jews, the pogroms, and the decision to flee to save the family. The novel interweaves past and present to speak of identity, memory, and the importance of knowing one's family roots.
The work is known in English as The Night Journey, won the National Jewish Book Award and the Sydney Taylor Book Award, and opens the Sashie series.
Aimed at readers aged 9 to 12, it will also appeal to those who enjoy historical novels about tsarist Russia and family memory.
