Articoli correlati a The Chimney Tree
Deep in the Polish forest stands the chimney tree, a tree trunk hollowed out by lightning. This is where the beautiful Breindel Rutner, a young Jewish woman, loses her innocence and her first love. After her rabbi father finds out she has been secretly meeting a Christian, he forces her to marry a stranger. When she realizes that her new husband has messianic delusions, she flees to Warsaw. Just as she finds the life and love she desires, however, World War II tears apart her idyllic life. She must face the bombing of Warsaw, the Russian occupation of Eastern Poland, and Nazi torture. Refusing to be a victim of circumstance, the strong, independent Breindel must time and again take charge of her own fate.
Helmreich's novel takes the reader through Breindel's many desperate escapes from the people and forces that try to break her. Throughout this ordeal we see Breindel transformed from a bright-eyed, romantic teenager dreaming of a fairy-tale life into a courageous woman determined to triumph over the terrors she comes to know all too well. Often she must rely on others - some who save her, some who betray her - in her struggle to keep herself and her family safe. Weaving Breindel into and out of lives across Poland, Helmreich exposes how World War II permanently changed the values, outlook and direction taken by those who were caught up in it.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. First Edition. The eldest daughter of the Rabbi of Dubnitz had always been a little different. Not satisfied with the mundane expectations of her friends, she refuses the suitors she is offered by her family. Yet Miriam's daring draws her down forbidden paths; when a romantic liaison with a young Christian peasant is discovered, she is quickly married to a man from another town and sent away. His cruelty and madness send her fleeing to Warsaw, where she finds the love she has been looking for. Centered finally, with a new, loving husband, a flourishing business, and a beloved child, Miriam makes peace with her parents and begins life anew, but when the distant rumbles of Nazism become the roaring maelstrom of World War II, she is faced with the loss of everything she holds dear. Separated from her husband and son, can she possibly survive a world gone mad to find them again?. Codice articolo 050649
