Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Set in Minneapolis and Saint Paul during the years 1911 - 1918, Mary Sharratt's debut novel is the story of a young German immigrant who translates fairy tales for an enigmatic older woman. The heroine is drawn into a mysterious new world as the tales assume a reality of their own, mirroring her personal awakening in a time of alienation and war.
When her mother dies, Kathrin's intense natural curiosity and passion for life convince her to immigrate to America. There she meets Violet Waverly, who offers her a job translating a book, inviting Kathrin to live with her in her mansion on Summit Avenue, the richest and most elite neighborhood in Saint Paul. Although Violet can offer Kathrin love, compassion, and a glimpse of the dizzying heights of upper-class grandeur, she cannot fully disguise the painful secrets hiding behind the glitter.
