A midwife from Berlin
14.99 €
The war is over. Her struggle is not.
1945. Esther Pasternak emerges from Auschwitz alive—and without her daughter. The newborn Pippa, a fair-haired girl, was given to a German family. Before their separation, Esther managed to do the only thing she could: leave her camp number on the child's body. A sign that would one day lead her to her daughter. Destroyed Berlin, endless lists of the missing, shelters, hospitals—years of searching, in which hope flickers and then fades. Esther learns to move on, but she never stops waiting.
1961. When the truth seems closer than ever, Berlin is divided overnight into two countries. A wall is erected, and borders are closed. Any attempt to cross them becomes a risk. Reunion is almost possible—and then, once again, unattainable.
"The Midwife from Berlin" is an emotional historical novel about a woman who had to endure the camps, further separation, and decades of waiting to prove that even history has its limits, but a mother's love does not.
