INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER ● From the bestselling author of New Day Dawning comes a touching novella of the unrelenting force of love, the power of healing, and the invincible desire to dream ● Inspired by the lives of two World War II survivors
In their early teens, two girls were forced to sit next to each other in school. Although they were complete opposites-one a social butterfly and the other a withdrawn bookworm-they soon realized that they shared similar hopes and dreams. Over time, against all expectations, they became best friends.
Until the war broke out.
Now, each was thrown into opposite sides of the conflict. And mistakes were made-unforgivable mistakes, that would shape both their futures.
How could their friendship endure?
BASED ON A REMARKABLE TRUE STORY, with an appendix including authentic WWII photographs and documents.
Wonderful... A wry, sharply observed tale of both heroism and coming-of-age-story during one of the darkest times in humanity.
Compulsively readable... In this 200-page novella Kiss proves to be yet again a distinctively contemporary literary voice.
Biting, brilliant exploration of a female friendship. And though The Two Marias focuses on young women, readers need be neither young nor female in order to enjoy it...
