Description
The third book in the Silk Saga by bestselling author Ulrike Renk. A dramatic family chronicle based on true events, set in Krefeld, London and Chicago.
1940: At last! Ruth has obtained the visa she so desperately wanted, and she’s permitted to go and stay with her relatives in America. Yet she’s in for a rough start. Chicago is much bigger than Ruth expected, and she doesn’t find it easy to adapt to her new routine, which is so different from what she’s used to. Then, however, she meets Eddie and falls head over heels in love, despite her better judgment: Eddie is an American soldier, and the war doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon. When he’s sent to the Front, Ruth’s world collapses: will Eddie come back from the war unscathed? And will their love survive?
