La hija olvidada

Armando Lucas Correa (Cuba)
Novel, 304 pages

Based on true events, this novel compels the reader to experience the 20th century history of WWII, and to contemplate modern realities into our own times.

Germany, 1939: When the Nazis descend on Berlin, Jews and other “undesirables” are targeted with brazen brutality. Amanda Sternberg’s bookshop is destroyed, and all the books burned. Her husband, a well-known and respected cardiologist, is sent to a prison camp.

Amanda is distraught but determined to save her two little daughters. When a refugee ship headed for Cuba offers an escape from the Nazi purge, Amanda must make an impossible choice that will haunt her and her children for life. 70 years later, long-hidden truths still demand to be told but will their revelation lead to condemnation or salvation?

“Breathtakingly threaded together from start to finish with the sound of a beating heart.” –The New York Times
