Synopsis

El autor del bestseller internacional La niña alemana regresa con una inolvidable saga familiar de amor y redención durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, basado en hechos reales de la masacre de un pueblo francés por los nazis en 1944.

Nueva York, 2015: A los ochenta años, Elise Duval recibe una llamada de una mujer portando mensajes de un tiempo y lugar que había abandonado en el olvido. Elise, una francesa católica que llegó a Nueva York al finalizar la Segunda Guerra Mundial, quedó atónita al descubrir que las cartas que una desconocida traía de Cuba, fueron escritas en alemán por su madre durante la guerra. A pesar de todos sus esfuerzos por ofuscar el pasado, siete décadas de secretos comienzan a salir a la luz.

Berlín, 1939: La librera Amanda Sternberg se fuga de la Alemania nazi rumbo al sur de Francia con sus dos hijas pequeñas, pero a Haute-Vienne llega con solo una. Tras un instante de libertad ilusoria son capturadas y llevadas a un campo de trabajo forzado.

Basado en hechos reales, La hija olvidada es la crónica de una de las atrocidades más espeluznantes cometida por los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial en la Francia ocupada. Conmovedora y exquisita en detalles, la novela de Armando Lucas Correa es una hermosa saga familiar sobre el amor, la sobrevivencia y la esperanza contra todas las barreras.

I know it's only January but I have a feeling this could end up being my favorite historical fiction read of 2019. This book gripped me pretty darn near close to the start and didn't let up until the last page. I highly recommend this one even if you feel like you have read one too many WW2 historic......more

The soldiers are fleeing, ashamed of the crime they’ve committed, Elise dared to hope. She was sure they wouldn’t come back just for her. The German soldier must have thought she was a ghost. Or maybe he didn’t see her because she no longer existed. She had died several hours earlier...She had al......more

We bear witness to a mother’s anguish and desperation as she tries to save her two daughters. Substitute families, in various forms, are constructed in order to......more
