In the frigid depths of January 1945, six souls break free from the clutches of a Nazi death march in Poland. This motley crew—two women and four men—hail from diverse backgrounds and nations, yet share the harrowing experience of Auschwitz's horrors. Seeking sanctuary in an abandoned factory, they suddenly find themselves reclaiming their humanity, no longer mere digits in a cruel system.
As they revel in their newfound liberty, a palpable undercurrent of uncertainty courses through their veins. What lies ahead in this brave new world? Albert Maltz's "A Tale of One January" is a gripping narrative of unbridled elation amidst a hothouse of trepidation. It's a chronicle of human spirits bursting forth into life after narrowly escaping death's icy grip.
Maltz, renowned for his keen eye for character and masterful storytelling, weaves an extraordinary and poignant tale. This riveting account cements his place as one of the finest raconteurs of his era, offering readers a compassionate glimpse into the resilience of the human spirit.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
