It's October 1942, in Oslo, Norway. Fifteen-year-old Ilse Stern is waiting to meet boy-next-door Hermann Rod for their first date. She was beginning to think he'd never ask her; she's had a crush on him for as long as she can remember. But Hermann won't be able to make it tonight. What Ilse doesn't know is that Hermann is secretly working in the Resistance, helping Norwegian Jews flee the country to escape the Nazis. The work is exhausting and unpredictable, full of late nights and code words and lies to Hermann's parents, to his boss... to Ilse. And as life under German occupation becomes even more difficult, particularly for Jewish families like the Sterns, the choices made become more important by the hour: To speak up or to look away? To stay or to flee? To act now or wait one more day? In this internationally acclaimed debut, Marianne Kaurin recreates the atmosphere of secrecy and uncertainty in World War II Norway in a moving story of sorrow, chance, and first love. **A Playaway is an audiobook device that is about the size of a small deck of playing cards. It only requires one (1) AAA battery to play and headphones or ear buds to listen to the Playaway audiobook. The Playaway device is light, compact and there are no CDs, cassettes, downloads or subscriptions needed to make the Playaway work. Similar to almost any CD player, the Playaway device allows for the volume to be adjusted, chapter selection and skipping ahead in a chapter as well using the buttons on the Playaway device. The Playaway device also has a digital display that indicates information such as the chapter, time played or remaining in each chapter and the battery power level. Thank you.** |
