Krátky popis
'A lyrical, engrossing and essential read' - Sathnam Sanghera 'A
superbly nuanced reclamation of history and family secrets' - Brian
Van Reet, author of SpoilsWhat does it mean to be on the wrong side
of history?Svenja O'Donnell's beautiful, aloof grandmother Inge
never spoke about the past. All her family knew was that she had
grown up in a city that no longer exists on any map: Koenigsberg in
East Prussia, a footnote in history, a place that almost no one has
heard of today. But when Svenja impulsively visits this windswept
Baltic city, something unlocks in Inge and, finally, she begins to
tell her story.It begins in the secret jazz bars of Hitler's
Berlin. It is a story of passionate first love, betrayal, terror,
flight, starvation and violence. As Svenja teases out the threads
of her grandmother's life, retracing her steps all over Europe, she
realises that there is suffering here on a scale that she had never
dreamt of.And finally, she uncovers a desperately tragic secret
that her grandmother has been keeping for sixty years. Inge's War
listens to the voices that are often missing from our historical
narrative - those of women caught up on the wrong side of history.
It is a book about memory and heritage that interrogates the legacy
passed down by those who survive.It also poses the questions: who
do we allow to tell their story? What do we mean by family? And
what will we do in order to survive?
