About this deal

Thus, just as listening to another story of Mitford is enhanced by its familiarity so hearing John McDonough's narration stirs feelings of comfort and recognition. The play is based on the Irish custom of placing a candle in the window on Christmas Eve to welcome the Holy Family, and for Marcy, its message becomes deeply personal. While her stories are set within a much written about time period, the concepts with which she portrays them are so unique and wholly original.

A poignant love story… beautifully written and rich with emotion… It is a story about courage and sacrificial love that I found really beautiful and one I highly recommend. Až nakoniec Annegrete (Margarete) nevystopoval jej brat Wilhelm Huber… a nebezpečenstvo sa len stupňovalo.I am looking forward to reading more in the storyline and to continue to see the evolving characters! Aj keď stoja na dvoch rôznych stranách, ona je židovka a on je vojak SS, ktorému je odmala vštepovaná propaganda vtedajšej doby, vtedajšieho režimu, svojim spôsobom našli k sebe cestu. It draws you in and has you questioning the moral dilemma of whether one human life is worth more than another… A tale that is heartbreaking as well as intriguing . Berlin, 1941: The story opens with a bang - quite literally - an air raid on the city sees the Hubers scrambling to the safety of their cellar. She enjoys working with a variety of etching techniques, including aquatint, ‘soft’ ground, ‘white’ ground and burnishing, which result in subtle tonal differences within her imagery.

The story follows Margarete a young Jewish woman in WW2 who takes the identity of her employer's dead Nazi daughter to avoid prosecution and her relationship/connection with the son of the same family who is also an SS member. She was nothing but a dirty Jew, employed as a housemaid to undertake their every whim and every chore. The situations she finds herself in literally had the hairs at the back of my neck stand up and I was like a mother hen, constantly worrying about her safety. We celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories, traditions and living cultures; and we pay our respects to Elders past and present.His elder brother Reiner is a high ranking officer in the SS who is faithful to the Furher and his cause. I really thought this was going to be an exciting piece of historical literature, but halfway through it turned into a trashy romance novel. This one is my least favorite of the Mitford books (at least the original nine), although I still adore it.
