| "En el verano de 1915, durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, los Wittgenstein, patriarcas de una rica familia judía alemana, consiguen reunir a todos sus miembros para disfrutar juntos en Suiza de unos días lejos de la tragedia cotidiana de la guerra. Ninguno sospechaba que aquel verano iba a ser el último de una vida feliz, acomodada y sin problemas graves. Poco después, Beata, la hija mayor, cae irremediablemente en las redes del amor. Pero se trata de un amor prohibido con un oficial católico. Esta relación, que los dos amantes defienden frente a todos, terminará dividiendo a la familia. Dos décadas más tarde, Beata deberá enfrentarse con la aterradora amenaza que significa Hitler para sus seres queridos y sobre todo para su hija Amadea." -- Goodreads. -- Traducido de la edición en inglés de 2004. Contiene algunas descripciones de violencia y de índole sexual. |
