Produktbeschreibung
In the fifth and final book of The Kalvarianhof series, Charlotte Mathais and Karl Levi find love in one of the most terrifying of places: World War II Germany. At turns escaping and resisting, the lovers and their families hope to survive the ghastly Nazi menace, as well as the Allied bombing. And then, in the blink of an eye, Charlotte and Karl are separated. Are they dead? If they have survived, will they ever see each other again? Ending on a hopeful note, Forget Me Not, A Tale of Two Families 1936-1946 reminds the reader that even under unimaginable hardships there can be surprising and wonderful circumstances. Author Walter Soellner is a historian and retired college professor who sought to teach a new generation of "students," his readers, with this series tracing two families over three generations. He draws from research as well as his own family's firsthand accounts of German civilian life during the first half of the twentieth century. Forget Me Not is perfect for romance readers as well as those interested in history and war stories and, at its core, leaves the reader with a deeper understanding of a vitally important period to know, particularly given the current rise of fascism in the US.
Autorenporträt
Walter Soellner's parents immigrated to America from Germany in 1938. Many visits over the years to his family's ancestral home in Bavaria (called Kalvarianhof in the novel), and travels to Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe inspired the author's writing. Much family history and extensive research into the first half of the 20th century provide historic detail against which the novel's men and women play out their passionate lives. Soellner is a retired professor of art and art history and lives with his wife Sandra in San Jose, California.
