Description

This sweeping family saga spans over 80 years, from 1937 to 2020, and is set against the backdrop of Bavarian Germany. At its heart are the tragic events of the Holocaust, which have a profound impact on the lives of five families.

The story follows two branches of a family who were separated by war and antisemitism, but ultimately find connection through their shared heritage - a herd of Hinterwalder cattle. The novel explores how ordinary lives are shaped by historical events, and how the past can come full circle in unexpected ways.
