Historical
A sweeping historical novel that spans Germany, England, and
the United States and follows a young couple torn apart by
circumstance leading up to World War II—and the family
secret that may prove to be the means for survival. Love brought them together. But only time can save
them… 1931, Germany. Bookshop owner Max Beissinger meets Hanna
Ginsberg, a budding concert violinist, and immediately he
feels a powerful chemistry between them. It isn’t long
before they fall in love and begin making plans for the
future. As their love affair unfolds over the next five
years, the climate drastically changes in Germany as Hitler
comes to power. Their love is tested with the new landscape
and the realities of war, not the least of which is that
Hanna is Jewish and Max is not. But unbeknownst to Hanna is
the fact that Max has a secret, which causes him to leave
for months at a time—a secret that Max is convinced will
help him save Hanna if Germany becomes too dangerous for her
because of her religion. In 1946, Hanna Ginsberg awakens in a field outside of
Berlin. Disoriented and afraid, she has no memory of the
past ten years and no idea what has happened to Max. With no
information as to Max’s whereabouts—or if he is even still
alive—she decides to move to London to live with her sister
while she gets her bearings. Even without an orchestra to
play in, she throws herself completely into her music to
keep alive her lifelong dream of becoming a concert
violinist. But the music also serves as a balm to heal her
deeply wounded heart and she eventually gets the opening she
long hoped for. Even so, as the days, months, and years
pass, taking her from London to Paris to Vienna to America,
she continues to be haunted by her forgotten past, and the
fate of the only man she has ever loved and cannot forget. Told in alternating viewpoints—Max in the years leading up
to WWII, and Hanna in the ten years after—In Another
Time is a beautiful novel about love and survival,
passion and music, across time and continents.
