Description
A great historical novel, a touching family saga, and a noir wartime thriller all rolled into one terrific narrative. Set in Denmark during World War II, The Second Winter is a cinematic portrayal of a family struggling to survive under German occupation. In the darkest days of war, Fredrik's brutal struggle to keep his son and daughter fed becomes intertwined with that of Polina, a young refugee from Krakow, who finds herself forced into prostitution. When Fredrik steals a precious necklace, their fates become inextricably linked, triggering a ripple effect that will take decades to resolve. This powerful narrative exposes the violence and want inherent in a father's love, capturing a savage moment in history in vivid detail.
