Krátky popis
From the multi-award-winning author - a beautiful, stunningly
ambitious novel telling the story of a young girl's battle for
survival and search for the truth in occupied Vienna **WINNER OF
THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION 2026**'A shimmering
masterwork' Alice Austen'An extraordinary novel about resilience'
Amanda Craig'A mesmerising tapestry woven across history' Gina
Rippon'Gripping and profound. A masterful work of rare complexity
that lingers and haunts' Christine LeunensAdelheid Brunner does not
speak. She writes and draws instead and her ambition is to own one
thousand matchboxes. Her grandmother cannot make sense of this, but
Adelheid will stop at nothing to achieve her dream. She makes
herself invisible, hiding in cupboards with her pet rat, Franz
Joseph, listening in on conversations she can't fully
comprehend.Then she meets Dr Asperger, a man who lets children play
all day and who recognises the importance of matchboxes. He invites
Adelheid to come and live at the Vienna paediatric clinic, where
she and other children like herself will live under observation.But
the date is 1938 and the place is Vienna - a city of political
instability, a place of increasing fear and violence. When the
Nazis march into the city, a new world is created and difficult
choices must be made.Why are the clinic's children disappearing,
and where do they go? Adelheid starts to suspect that some of Dr
Asperger's games are played for the highest stakes. In order to
survive, she must play a game whose rules she cannot yet
understand.
