About this ebook
The brand new absolutely gripping and heartbreaking World War II historical novel from master storyteller Marius Gabriel.
Tatra Mountains, Poland, 1942. Tamar Varga joins the Polish Resistance Movement to take whatever revenge she can against the Nazis - having watched in horror as her Roma family was rounded up for certain death. Amid constant danger, a fellow partisan offers her an escape in his arms, and the result is Luna: a perfect child.
Conceived by moonlight, born by moonlight, and buried by moonlight.
Las Vegas, Nevada, 1962. Two decades of struggle and suffering later, Tamar has built a new life for herself in the west - far from the horrors of the second world war. Working at the iconic casino, Palladio's, she tries to forget the tragedy that haunts her. But when an old face from her past appears, with news that is surely impossible, she cannot turn away.
The devil on her doorstep must be lying. Luna, the daughter she buried a lifetime ago, cannot be alive. Can she?
In this sweeping, transporting and profoundly moving world war two historical fiction, we embark on a perilous journey to uncover the truth with a woman of extraordinary courage.
Perfect fans of Soraya M. Lane, Fiona Valpy and Kristin Hannah.
