Pero a medida que el partido nazi gana posiciones en la ciudad, las leyes de  Nuremberg pondrán en peligro una amistad que parecía destinada a durar eternamente. Ilse se siente cada vez más atraída por las Juventudes  Hitlerianas, mientras que Renate se ve forzada a confrontar un secreto familiar que su familia ha ocultado durante décadas.Una historia de traición y remordimientos que no tendrá su cierre hasta el año 1989, cuando, en Nueva York, Ava Fischer recibe las cenizas de su madre, a la que nunca acabó de conocer bien, junto con un paquete de cartas que no llegaron a enviarse, dirigidas a la mejor amiga de infancia de Ilse, Renate.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONUSA TODAY BESTSELLER “Searing . . . a heartbreaking page-turner.”—People “Both heartbreaking and hopeful, this story of a daughter searching for the truth about her mother’s secret past, tangled up in old secrets and terrible lies, kept me up late turning pages.”—Martha Hall Kelly, bestselling author of Lilac Girls Once inseparable, Berlin teenagers Ilse Fischer and Renate Bauer find their friendship ripped apart by their nation’s abrupt swing into fascism. Ilse, a so-called Aryan, throws her lot in with the Nazi Party, while Renate sees her once-secure world dismantled by Adolf Hitler’s race laws and then shattered by a shocking betrayal. Decades later, that same betrayal will upend the life of Ilse’s daughter, Ava, as she discovers long-buried truths about her mother’s past.
