New York Times bestseller
"Sheer storytelling ... an epic romance."
Kirkus Reviews
"A deeply satisfying novel."
The Washington Post Book World
From the bestselling author of Midwives.
In January 1945, in the waning months of World War II, a small group of people begin the longest journey of their lives: an attempt to cross the remnants of the Third Reich, from Warsaw to the Rhine if necessary, to reach the British and American lines. Among the group is 18-year-old Anna Emmerich, the daughter of Prussian aristocrats. There is her lover, Callum Finella, a 21-year-old Scottish prisoner of war who was brought from the stalag to her family's farm as forced labour. And there is 26-year-old Wehrmacht corporal, who the pair knows as Manfred - who is, in reality, Uri Singer, a Jew from Germany who managed to escape a train bound for Auschwitz. As they work their way west, they encounter a countryside ravaged by war. Their flight will test both Anna's and Callum's love, as well as their friendship with Manfred - assuming any of them survive.
"Bohjalian's well-chosen descriptions capture the anguish of a tragic era and the dehumanizing desolation wrought by war."
Publishers Weekly
"Strongly dramatic and full of the heartbreaking horror of war."
The Hartford Courant
"Rich in character and gorgeous writing."
Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author
