Overview
«En esta novela vívida y conmovedora sobre destinos entrelazados y el poder perdurable del amor contra las peores probabilidades, Levensohn teje una historia saturada de precisión histórica y, sin embargo, sorprendentemente íntima. Una chica judía en París ofrece romance e intriga de sobra, pero el verdadero poder de la novela radica en su descripción de cuán profunda y, a veces, misteriosamente podemos encontrarnos conectados con el pasado y entre nosotros.» -Paula McLain, autora bestseller de The New York Times con The Paris Wife y When the Stars Go Dark.
PARÍS, 1940. La ciudad está bajo ocupación alemana. Una joven judía, Judith, conoce a un joven, hijo de un rico banquero y simpatizante de los nazis; su familia nunca aprobará a la chica de la que se ha enamorado. A medida que los alemanes imponen más y más restricciones a los judíos parisinos, la pareja planea huir del país en secreto. Pero antes de que puedan escapar, Judith desaparece…
MONTREAL, 1982. Poco antes de su muerte, Lica Grunberg le confiesa a su hija que tiene una media hermana mayor, Judith. Lica escapó de los nazis, pero perdió todo contacto con su primogénita. Su hija promete encontrar a la hermana que nunca conoció. La búsqueda languidece durante años, hasta que Jacobina es alentada por su joven amiga Béatrice.
Pronto las dos mujeres descubren un oscuro secreto familiar, que se extiende por dos continentes y seis décadas, que cambiará sus vidas para siempre.
Inspirada en hechos reales y ambientada en el contexto de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Una chica judía en París de Melanie Levensohn, es una poderosa novela sobre el amor prohibido.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
'In this vivid, affecting novel of intertwined destinies and the enduring power of love against the bleakest odds, Levensohn weaves a tale saturated with historical accuracy and yet surprisingly intimate. A Jewish Girl in Paris delivers romance and intrigue to spare, but the novel’s real power lies in its portrayal of how deeply and sometimes mysteriously we can find ourselves connected to the past, and to each other.' - Paula Mc Lain, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark.
Paris, 1940, a city under German occupation. A young Jewish girl, Judith, meets a young man, the son of a wealthy banker and Nazi sympathizer – his family will never approve of the girl he has fallen in love with. As the Germans impose more and more restrictions on Jewish Parisians, the couple secretly plan to flee the country. But before they can make their escape, Judith disappears
Montréal, 1982. Shortly before his death, Lica Grunberg confesses to his daughter, that she has an older half-sister, Judith. Lica escaped the Nazis but lost all contact with his first-born daughter. His daughter promises to find the sister she never knew. The search languishes for years, until Jacobina is spurred on by her young friend Béatrice.
Soon the two women discover a dark family secret, stretching over two continents and six decades, that will change their lives forever.
Inspired by true events and set against the backdrop of the Second World War, Melanie Levensohn’s A Jewish Girl in Paris is a powerful novel about forbidden love, adapted from a translation by Jamie Lee Searle.
