"A Borzoi book"--T.p. verso.

Originally published: Un desir fou de danser. Paris : Editions de Seuil, 2006.

Sixty year-old Doriel Waldman, a Polish Jew born in 1936, is on the verge of insanity until Dr. Therese Goldschmidt draws him out with his story of surviving the Holocaust in hiding with his father while his mother made a reputation for herself in the Polish resistance--only to die in an accident shortly after the war.
