The publication date for The Apple is September 1, 2009. Called by Oprah “The greatest love story ever told,” The Apple is a novel based on Herman Rosenblat’s story of a girl who tossed him apples over the fence when he was a boy in a Nazi concentration camp. The book also recounts the story behind the story: what happened when Herman Rosenblat’s memoir was found to be embellished? Why did Mr. Rosenblat fabricate aspects of his story? And what perils await a Holocaust survivor who does such a thing?
Author, Penelope Holt, and Herman Rosenblat, will be at BEA at The Jacob Javits Center, at the Atlas Books booth, 9:30-10:15, May 31, 2009. Review copies are available from info@yorkhousepress.com
