Nothing For Tears

The true story of one family's struggle in the chaos of Germany's defeat in 1945--and one with an ending both heartbreaking and sadly ironic. Toward the end of the war, Lali Horstman and her husband Freddy were living in an elegant 18th-century home, until Allied bombers destroyed the building. The Horstmans grabbed what they could and moved into a small agent's house in the park; it was there Russian agents came one spring night and took Freddy away. Only by chance, two and a half years later, did Lali learn the truth about her husband's fate... "Outstanding"--The Times.
