In September, 2011, she published a companion volume to "Sharkskin" that tells the story of Lagnado's mother, Edith. "The Arrogant Years: One Girl's Search for Her Lost Youth, from Cairo to Brooklyn" (Ecco/HarperCollins) juxtaposes the author's own coming of age in New York with that of her mother in Cairo, revealing how the choices she made meant both a liberation from Old World traditions and the loss of a comforting and familiar community. The book was described by the publisher as an epic family saga of faith and fragility.〔(Interview with Lucette Lagnado, winner of Sami Rohr Prize )〕 ==Bibliography== *''Children of the Flames: Dr. Josef Mengele and the Untold Story of the Twins of Auschwitz'' *''The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit'' *''The Arrogant Years'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lucette Lagnado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
