The mark of the angel

Edición de la obra Empreinte de l'ange

"The year is 1957, and the place is Paris where the psychic wounds of World War II have barely begun to heal. In this novel of love, betrayal and the ironies of history, we meet Saffie, a distant and damaged young German woman and her employer, Raphael, a priveleged musician who finds her remove irresistable. When Saffie meets a Hungarian instrument maker living in the Marais, Paris's Jewish quarter, all their lives will be altered in startling and unexpected ways. But even as she learns to reconnect and to love, the rising tide of violence from the brutal war for Algerian independence threatens to engulf them."--BOOK JACKET.
