Around them a war wages, and hunger is a constant companion. Yet every night, the woodcutter's wife prays for a child. On a train crossing the forest, a Jewish father holds his twin children. His wife no longer has enough milk to feed them. In hopes of saving both their lives, he wraps his daughter in a shawl and gently throws her from the train. While foraging for food, the woodcutter's wife finds a bundle, a baby girl wrapped in a shawl. She knows that this little girl will be pursued, but she cannot ignore this gift: she will accept the precious cargo, and raise her as her own. . . Set against the horrors of the Holocaust and told with a fairytale-like lyricism, The Most Precious of Cargoes, translated from French by Frank Wynne, is a deeply moving fable about family and redemption, a story that reminds us that humanity can be found in the most inhumane of places.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47500040044769,"sku":null,"price":423.5,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/9033\/0593\/files\/10617543482732.jpg?v=1763761088","url":"https:\/\/perfectbookhouse.com\/products\/the-most-precious-of-cargoes","provider":"PERFECT BOOK HOUSE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
