Shortly after the end of World War II, in a devastated Berlin with no apparent future, Victoria survives by singing every night at the Kassandra club. Despite having a brilliant 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 will force Victoria to travel alone to the United States, where, however, she will experience the unconditional love of Captain Norton. There, she will discover that what seemed like the most democratic society in the world hides a rotten layer of racism and injustices at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan and Senator McCarthy.
A grand novel where resentment, the pain of loss, and difficult decisions are overcome by the courage of characters who fight fiercely to protect what they love most.
A sweeping novel of resilience, sacrifice, and survival.
