520 2 "The extraordinary love story of an American blueblood and
a German aristocrat--and a riveting tale of survival in
wartime Germany. Sigrid MacRae never knew her father,
until a trove of letters revealed not only him, but also
the singular story of her parents' intercontinental love
affair. While visiting Paris in 1927, her American mother,
Aimee, raised in a wealthy Connecticut family, falls in
love with a charming, sophisticated Baltic German baron, a
penniless exile of the Russian Revolution. They marry. But
the harsh reality of post-World War I Germany is
inescapable: a bleak economy and the rise of Hitler quash
Heinrich's diplomatic ambitions, and their struggling
family farm north of Berlin drains Aimee's modest fortune.
In 1941, Heinrich volunteers for the Russian front and is
killed by a sniper. Widowed, living in a country soon at
war with her own, Aimee must fend for herself. With home
and family in jeopardy, she and her six young children
flee the advancing Russian army in an epic journey, back
to the country she thought she'd left behind. A World
Elsewhere is a stirring narrative of two hostages to
history and a mother's courageous fight to save her
family"--|cProvided by publisher.
520 2 "Sigrid MacRae's wonderful family memoir is set in the
turbulent time of WWII. Her mother, who married a Russian
exile in the late 1920s, wound up a widow with six
children after her husband was killed fighting for the
Germans. After finding a long-unopened box of love letters
between her parents, MacRae set out to discover the father
she never knew, and in the process came to understand the
extraordinary, bi-continental and multigenerational
history of her family"--Provided by publisher.
