Se enfrentaron al horror y lucharon contra la injusticia.
Pero nada reconcilia más que el amor.
Recién terminada la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en un BerlÃn arrasado y sin futuro aparente, Victoria sobrevive cantando cada noche en el club Kassandra. Pese a tener una mente prodigiosa, capaz de crear un poderoso sistema de cifrado de mensajes, su hija Hedy y su hermana Rebecca dependen de ese mÃsero sueldo para sobrevivir. Un chantaje sin escrúpulos por parte de los rusos obligará a Victoria a viajar sola a Estados Unidos, donde, sin embargo, disfrutará del amor incondicional del capitán Norton. Allà descubrirá que la que parecÃa la sociedad más democrática del mundo esconde una rancia capa de racismo e injusticias de la mano del Ku Klux Klan y el senador McCarthy.
Una novela grandiosa en la que los resentimientos, el dolor de la pérdida y las decisiones difÃciles serán superados gracias al coraje de unos personajes que luchan firmemente por defender lo que más aman.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
They faced horror and fought against injustice.
But nothing reconciles more than love.
Just after the end of World War II, in a ravaged Berlin with no apparent future, Victoria survives by singing every night at the Kassandra club. Despite having a prodigious mind capable of creating a powerful message encryption system, her daughter Hedy and her sister Rebecca depend on that meager salary to survive. An unscrupulous blackmail by the Russians forces Victoria to travel alone to the United States, where she will, however, enjoy the unconditional love of Captain Norton. There, she will discover that what seemed to be the world's most democratic society hides a rancid layer of racism and injustices at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan and Senator McCarthy.
A grand novel in which resentments, the pain of loss, and difficult decisions are overcome thanks to the courage of characters who firmly fight to defend what they love most.
