In Conversation with Marsha Lederman

Four generations of women experience love, loss, war, and hope from the rise of Nazism to the Cuban Revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall in this sweeping novel from the bestselling author of The German Girl.

In 1931 Berlin, poet Ally Keller, fearing persecution from the Nazi Aryan purity policies for her mixed-race daughter Lilith, hides her in the shadows. But as she grows and concealment becomes impossible, Ally plans to send Lilith across the ocean for safety. In 1958 Havana, Lilith, with few memories of her past, anticipates a future with Cuban pilot Martin. But amidst the Cuban Revolution, she and her daughter Nadine face a daunting crossroads. In 1988 Berlin, scientist Nadine, committed to preserving the dignity of murdered Nazi victims, confronts her family’s history. Encouraged by daughter Luna, Nadine delves into the choices her mother and grandmother made for their children’s survival.
