Produktinformationen "The German Girl"
A beautifully written debut novel set aboard the liner St Louis as it travels from Hamburg to Cuba - supposedly taking Jewish families to a safe new home. Both intensely moving and thought-provoking, this novel is based on a true story, one of the most devastating, yet little known, tragedies of WWII.The German Girl sweeps from Berlin at the brink of WWII to Cuba on the cusp of revolution, to New York in the wake of September 11th, before reaching its deeply moving conclusion in the tumult of present-day Havana. Based on a true story, this wonderful novel gives voice to the joys and sorrows of generations of exiles, forever seeking a place called home. Before everything changed, Hannah Rosenthallived a charmed life. But now the streets of Berlin are draped in swastikas and Hannah is no longer welcome in the places she once considered home.A glimmer of hope appears in the shape of the St Louis , a transatlantic liner that promises Jews safe passage to Cuba. The Rosenthals sell everything to fund visas and tickets. At first the liner feels like luxury, but as they travel the circumstances of war change, and it soon becomes their prison.Seven decades later in New York, on her twelfth birthday Anna Rosen receives a package from Hannah, the great-aunt she never met but who raised her deceased father. Anna and her mother immediately travel to Cuba to meet this elderly relative, and for the first time Hannah tells them the untold story of her voyage on the St Louis .' The German Girl tells a horrific story in profoundly human terms , and one ends up totally gripped and absorbed in the history' Julia Neuberger, author of On Being Jewish'Fascinating ... a brilliant entrée into the terrors, ardours, endeavours, hopeless valour and souls of those who have been written off ... Now, in a new age of people in peril and adrift on the world's seas, this magnificent novel - and the unexpected and intricate tragedies of its powerfully imagined characters - bespeaks this eternal injustice' THOMAS KENEALLY, bestselling author of Schindler's ListCorrea, Armando LucasArmando Lucas Correa is an award-winning journalist, editor, author, and the recipient of several awards from the National Association of Hispanic Publications and the Society of Professional Journalism.
