by Hal Marienthal (Author)
'Only rarely does an autobiographical manuscript become a breathtaking thriller However, the novel of American emigrant Hal Marienthal maintains its tension on a high level from the first to the last page and is, at the same time, a time-specific document of a terrifying reality." -Walter Gruenzweig, Vienna Standard

Absolutely spell-binding." -Kenneth Lincoln (UCLA), Men Down West, The Good Red Road, A Writer's China 'Hal Marienthal writes with the assured rhythms of a gifted storyteller. This coming-of-age narrative carries us deep into the heart of Nazi Germany, where a wise child leads us through harrowing near-death tunnels into the expanse of a new life.
