Opis

A rapturous novel of star-crossed love in a time of war--from the international bestselling author of The Velvet Hours.
In pre-World War II Prague, the dreams of two young lovers are shattered when they are separated by the Nazi invasion. Then, decades later, thousands of miles away in New York, an unexpected encounter leads to an inescapable glance of recognition, and the realization that providence has given Lenka and Josef one more chance...
From the glamorous ease of life in Prague before the Occupation, to the horrors of Nazi Europe, The Lost Wife explores the power of first love, the resilience of the human spirit--and the strength of memory.
-Staggeringly evocative, romantic, heart-rending, sensual and beautifully written... it] may very well be the Sophie's Choice of this generation.---New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart

Daringly constructed, this moving novel begins at the end and then, in a fully-realized circle through the most traumatic event of the 20th century, returns you there in a way that makes your heart leap. Loring Mandel, Emmy-winning playwright and author of Conspiracy
