Overview
Para los fanáticos de El tatuador de Auschwitz, la autora bestseller del New York Times Kelly Rimmer, regresa con una novela apasionante inspirada en la historia real de la Operación Paperclip: un controvertido programa secreto de inteligencia de EE.UU. que empleó a ex nazis después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Hará todo para proteger a su familia, incluso si eso implica ignorar el horror.
Berlín, 1930. Cuando el partido nazi se encumbra en el poder, el esposo de Sofie, Jürgen Rhodes, se ve beneficiado por el nuevo gobierno. Aunque ellos no comparten la ideología de Hitler, la nueva posición de Jürgen como científico del programa espacial los rodea de privilegios. Sin embargo, Sofie observa con horror cómo el mismo régimen que los encumbra también destruye la vida de miles de inocentes. Para mantener la seguridad de su familia, ¿será capaz de cerrar los ojos ante el horror?
Veinte años después, Jürgen es uno de los tantos científicos alemanes que emigran a Estados Unidos tras recibir un indulto condicionado: debe colaborar en el incipiente programa espacial de este país. Para Sofie, ésta es la oportunidad de liberarse de los fantasmas que la persiguen, pero sus vecinos no son tan hospitalarios ni comprensivos como había esperado. Cuando comienzan a circular rumores escandalosos sobre la supuesta afiliación de los Rhodes con el régimen de Hitler, un inesperado acto violento amenaza con destrozar para siempre el sueño de un nuevo comienzo para Sofie y su familia.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
For fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz—the New York Times bestselling author Kelly Rimmer, returns with a gripping novel inspired by the true story of Operation Paperclip: a controversial secret US intelligence program that employed former Nazis after WWII.
He will do anything to protect his family, even if it means ignoring the horror.
Berlin, 1930. As the Nazi party rises to power, Sofie's husband, Jürgen Rhodes, benefits from the new government. Although they don't share Hitler's ideology, Jürgen's new position as a scientist in the space program surrounds them with privileges. However, Sofie watches in horror as the same regime that uplifts them also destroys the lives of thousands of innocents. To keep her family safe, will she be able to turn a blind eye to the horror?
Twenty years later, Jürgen is one of the many German scientists who emigrates to the United States after receiving a conditional pardon: he must collaborate in the fledgling space program of this country. For Sofie, this is the opportunity to free herself from the ghosts that haunt her, but their neighbors are not as hospitable or understanding as she had hoped. When scandalous rumors begin to circulate about the Rhodes' supposed affiliation with Hitler's regime, an unexpected act of violence threatens to forever shatter Sofie and her family's dream of a new beginning.
