Note(s) : "All his life, Elijah Goldstein has idolized his charismatic Uncle Poxl. Intensely
magnetic, cultured and brilliant, Poxl takes Elijah under his wing, introducing him
to opera and art and literature. But when Poxl publishes a memoir of how he was forced
to leave his home north of Prague at the start of WWII and then avenged the deaths
of his parents by flying RAF bombers over Germany during the war, killing thousands
of German citizens, Elijah watches as the carefully constructed world his uncle has
created begins to unravel. As Elijah discovers the darker truth of Poxl's past, he
comes to understand that the fearless war hero he always revered is in fact a broken
and devastated man who suffered unimaginable losses from which he has never recovered.
Daniel Torday's debut novel, The Last Flight of Poxl West, beautifully weaves together
what it means to be a family in the shadow of war-- to love, to lose, and to heal"
