When the body of Tomek, a young distillery worker, is found brutally murdered in the forest outside Jadowia in Poland, his boyhood friend, Leszek, decides to uncover the mystery behind Tomek's death. Assuming the role of amateur sleuth, Leszek embarks on a clue-finding mission that takes him from country to city, into the grimy offices of once-powerful bureaucrats, and face-to-face with the Catholic Church's pious and impotent priests. And as Leszek moves closer to the truth, he is confronted with another strange mystery: the disappearance of stones from the foundations of the town's oldest houses. The further Leszek is drawn into this mystery, the deeper into the past he must search for answers about his people, the grim tragedy of the Holocaust, and ultimately, his own identity. In the Memory of the Forest is a haunting, evocative novel that explores the impact of a murder on a community, and of history and the fate of the Jews in Poland during World War II on a people.… (mehr)

Nel cuore della foresta che circonda Jadowia, una piccola cittadina polacca, viene trovato il cadavere di un ragazzo. Chi l'ha ucciso. L'indagine condotta in modo dilettantesco da un giovane agricoltore contro l'ostinata resistenza di colore che vorrebbero insabbiare tutto, portera alla luce non solo la rete di corruzione, contrabbando e malaffare creatasi nei paesi dell'Europa centrale con il crollo dell'Unione Sovietica, ma anche misteri ben piu antichi che risalgono ai tempi dell'ultima guerra mondiale e allo sterminio degli ebrei. Mentre tra gli ex capi della comunita si scatena una lotta senza esclusione di colpi per salvare almeno una parte del potere, nel villaggio cominciano a succedere cose strane. Qualcuno scava nottetempo sotto le fondamenta delle case come se volesse farle creare. Qualcuno sfonda le porte di certe abitazioni. Cosa stanno cercando? Una voce risponde: l'oro degli ebrei. Gli ebrei stanno tornando, dice un'altra voce. E il panico dilaga. Bisognera restituire le case agli ebrei che prima della guerra costituivano l'ottanta per cento della popolazione del villaggio? E davvero sono scomparsi proprio tutti? Oppure qualcuno e scampato allo sterminio e non solo non dimentica il passato, ma vuole che tutti se li ricordino? Uno straordinario romanzo della memoria, che intreccia le devastazioni dello sterminio nazista con le incongruenze del passato. Per affermare, nell'unico modo possibile, la propria identita.

A fine novel -- well crafted and with a fully-realized, ambitious theme. It begins with a murder in the forest near a small Polish village, and that murder leads the reader (and the villagers) down the winding paths of memory to a moment when the Jews of the village disappeared so suddenly it might have been a supernatural act. Great writing here -- every sentence is vivid, each character utterly human. Highly recommended. ( )

Set in Poland after the end of the Cold War, the book through a rich set of evocative characters portrays the cynicism, disillusionment, sheer difficulty in living, the seemingly adamantine influence of the Stalinists despite the revolution, the corruption, and the very ambiguous role of the priesthood. These themes are set in a wonderfully told story that despite the often-harrowing tales that are told still affirms that hope prevails. The book finishes off too neatly, but almost all of it is a wonderful read.

The legacy of communism on moral, social and political life in Poland. A good, even if humiliating, account. ( )
