The Lives Before Us by Juliet Conlin
It's April 1939 and, with their lives in Berlin and Vienna under threat, Esther and Kitty two very different women are forced to make the same brutal choice. Flee Europe, or face the ghetto, incarceration, death.
'The Lives Before Us opens up a captivating new world in a war I thought I knew about, a raucous Casablanca transposed to the East, filled with the intrigues of outcasts and determined survivors' – ALEX CHRISTOFI, author of Glass ; 'Juliet Conlin brings wartime Shanghai to vividly to life with a wealth of fascinating detail.' – SARA SHERIDAN, author of The Ice Maiden ; 'Chronicles the courage and endurance of two women in wartime Shanghai, separated, then reunited, in a dangerous and desperate place. Strongly drawn characters quickly demand attention, and empathy, and their compelling story charts a little known aspect of the Second World War, and of a persecution felt far beyond Europe.' – SARAH MAINE, author of The House Between Tides
