From author James Cloud comes the classic and powerful epic adventure that captures the gorgeous intensity of life in Germany during the early 20th century. It is the extraordinary saga of people who lived there during exciting and dangerous times. It is a tale of love and danger, of unthinkable loss - a stunning and vivid portrayal of people divided by class, faith, and prejudice - an expert sensational story that unveils the face of a majestic city.
