Berlin, Germany in 1929. Max, a Jewish architect, and Bettina, a celebrated avant-garde artist. There love burns bright but will it remain when the Nazis come calling?
Max is arrested and sent to a concentration camp at Dachau where his talent for exquisite porcelain figurines is the only thing keeping him alive, while Bettina does everything in her power to see him free.
The book switches to America in 1993, and Bettina's daughter, Clara, begins a journey to trace her roots and find her father.
The characters in this historical fiction book feel very real. And the action and almost nonstop anxiety feel very real as well. Everything about this book is beautiful and heart wrenching.
