A captivating and atmospheric historical novel about a young girl in Nazi Germany, a psychoanalyst in fin-de-siƩcle Vienna, and the powerful mystery that links them together. |
|
In 1899 Vienna, celebrated psychoanalyst Josef Breuer is about to encounter his strangest case yet: a mysterious, beautiful woman who claims to have no name, no feelings-- to be, in fact, a machine. Years later, in Nazi-controlled Germany, Krysta plays alone while her papa works in the menacingly strange infirmary next door. She retreats into a world of fairy tales, unable to see the danger closing in around her. |
