Über diesen Titel

Five-time Christy Award winner Lynn Austin is acclaimed as “one of the genre’s best historical fiction novelists” (Library Journal). Set in Brooklyn, New York, during World War II, While We’re Far Apart is a brilliant blend of captivating characters, heart-tugging emotions, and vivid spiritual truths. While a motherless girl longs for her daddy and a young lady hopes for a second chance at love, this poignant tale explores the uncertainty that stalks the homefront as the “War to End All Wars” rages in Europe.

Kritikerstimmen

"Esther Shaffer, 12, mourns her dead mother and now faces her father enlisting in the army; Penny Goodrich, long in love with Eddie Shaffer, volunteers to care for his children, hoping to marry Eddie when he returns; and Jacob Mendel, a Jewish widower, struggles to find Hashem (God) amid his loss. Their lives intersect as Jacob rediscovers his faith, Penny discovers her past and her future, and Esther begins to understand life and love. Add family drama, D-Day, the Holocaust, arson, and young love, and you'll see why Austin is so popular." ( Publishers Weekly)

Regardless of our religious beliefs, please let us love and respect each other. Please let us learn from the mistakes of the past which is not less real because it happened long ago. The present reality needs our active love for each other just as much. I am a child and grandchild of the after-war generation. I'm grateful for my life in peace so far, and I wish for my children and grandchildren to live their lives in peace.
This story is a great witness of the suffering and the love of innocent people as well as this book is a reminder of real evil.
Never again!

Never again!
