Trudy, a history professor, born German, American nationalized through the marriage of his mother, trying, as part of his teaching, to collect the German evidence having lived in this country during the Second World War. This choice is not trivial and lead much further than just academic work. In search of his roots, bumping the silence of her mother, walled up in her memories, she will discover for herself what was his childhood and especially the painful life of Anna, her mother.
A superb novel about the life of women in times of war, in this case, for the German side; the rise of Nazism, anti-Semitism, hunger, violence, survival? the love he still has its place?
