Description
In 1941 Berlin, humanity's darkest hour, three young women must act with courage and love to survive. Alice Hoffman weaves together their stories in a powerful exploration of good and evil, and the constant contest between them. Hanni Kohn sends her daughter away to save her from the Nazi regime, while Ettie creates a mystical golem to protect Lea. As Ava is brought to life, she and Lea become eternally entwined, their paths fated to cross. The lives of these women are forever changed as they navigate love, loss, and sacrifice. Through their stories, Hoffman opens up the world in a unique way, revealing the complexities of human experience during one of history's most pivotal moments.
