Description
A captivating cross-generational novel about a family divided by World War II and an inheritance with the power to bring them back together. In 1914, Johann Blumenthal crafted a treasured silver music box for his son Paul, before leaving to fight in a terrible war. Sixty years later, Londoner Lilian Morrison inherits the box after the death of her parents, discovering it is also a link to an astonishing past. A letter from her mother reveals that she was adopted, and with the keepsake comes a chance to uncover what happened to a family who scattered across the world, forced to choose between their heritage and dreams for the future. This poignant novel explores the complexities of identity, belonging, and the enduring power of love and family ties.
