Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A thrilling, long-lost British novelnever before published in the U.S.that warned of Hitler's rise through the story of an ordinary German family during six fateful months in 1933; it has been hailed as "a surprise breakout success" and "a word-of-mouth jaw-dropper" in the UK.The Klugers are a tight-knit family living in a picturesque mountain village in Bavaria. As 1932 draws to a close, Herr Kluger is dismayed by the growing popularity of the Nazi Party but aware of its leaders charisma: he warns his two sons, Dont you know that to hear that chap speak is to believe everything he says for twenty-four hours? To his sons, however, the Party offers not only employment prospects but also meaning and purposea powerful draw for a generation whose life chances had been decimated by Germany's defeat in the Great War. Helmy, the sensitive elder brother, joins the Party with some hesitation, while Erich becomes a true believer.Meanwhile, their beloved sister, Lexa, finds her engagement to her sweetheart under threat. Moritz Weissmann, though a Catholic, is half Jewish, and when it becomes clear he is at risk, Lexa's family urges her to break things off. She continues to see Moritz secretly, but as Hitler becomes Chancellor, laws restricting Jews are passed, Dachau is opened, and armed thugs roam the streets rounding up "enemies of the state," history closes in on the young lovers.Crooked Cross, written while Sally Carson was visiting Germany in the early 1930s and witnessing the historic events it depicts, is insightful, moving, and shockingly prescient.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. **Crooked Cross** is at its heart a love story, but it is also an extraordinarily prescient account of the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany seen through the eyes of the fictional Kluger family. The only daughter, Lexa Kluger, is engaged to be married to Moritz Weissmann, a young doctor with a bright future ahead of him or so it seems on Christmas Eve 1932 Reprinted to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two, **Crooked Cross** is one of the best accounts weve read of why some young men who feel disaffected, lost or ignored turn towards authoritarian governments. "Do you _want_ another war, Helmy? asked Frau Kluger quietly, keeping her eyes on the bread she was cutting. I dont know, he answered miserably. I dont know what I want. I want something we all want something we all want to be somebody, want to have something make something. You mean you all want to break something, broke in Lexa sharply. And when youve broken everything you can touch what dyou think youll do then?" **Crooked Cross** was published to critical acclaim in 1934 (Gripping and moving - Daily Mirror, A book everyone should read and remember - Coventry Herald) and Sally Carson followed it up with two sequels (_The Prisoner_ and _A Traveller Came By_) and a play (a dramatised version of **Crooked Cross**). But in 1938 she married, had three babies in 3 years, and tragically died of breast cancer at the age of just thirty-nine. She was then all but forgotten for decades, as was **Crooked Cross** until now Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
