Tzili was the youngest, least favored member of a large Jewish family. Her schooling was a failure; all she retained from her religious instruction was one prayer. Simple and meek, she was more at home with the animals in the fields than with her own kin. So when her family fled Hitler's encroaching armies, it was Tzili who stayed behind, and it was Tzili who lived alone in the forest, sought refuge with the peasants, found love, and survived. Aharon Appelfeld imbues her story with a harrowing beauty that is emblematic of an entire people's fate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAHARON APPELFELD\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than forty works of fiction and nonfiction, including \u003ci\u003eThe Iron Tracks, Until the Dawn's Light \u003c\/i\u003e(both winners of the National Jewish Book Award), \u003ci\u003eThe Story of a Life\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the Prix Médicis Étranger), and \u003ci\u003eBadenheim 1939\u003c\/i\u003e.
