Die Reisenden der Nacht

Four women, four generations, and decisions that shape a life. What if my child can only live if I give her away? Young writer Ally faces this very question. Her daughter Lilith is highly intelligent, yet Hitler's racial ideology denies mixed-race children like her any right to exist. With a heavy heart, Ally sends her away with a Jewish couple to safety in Cuba while she stays behind. Years later, Lilith finds herself in Cuba facing the same decision, as her husband Martin is hunted down and killed by Fidel Castro's men. She too is forced to bring her daughter Nadine to safety. Silence reigns for a long time—until Nadine's daughter Luna dares to search for her roots. What she discovers about her family's history deeply moves her. Love and loss, war and hope—from the rise of National Socialism to the Cuban Revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall. A remarkable novel of haunting intensity that lingers in the memory.
