A deeply moving and masterfully written story of human
resilience and enduring love, The Plum Tree follows a young
German woman through the chaos of World War II and its
aftermath. "Bloom where you're planted," is the advice Christine Bolz
receives from her beloved Oma. But seventeen-year-old
domestic Christine knows there is a whole world waiting
beyond her small German village. It's a world she's begun to
glimpse through music, books--and through Isaac Bauerman,
the cultured son of the wealthy Jewish family she works for. Yet the future she and Isaac dream of sharing faces greater
challenges than their difference in stations. In the fall of
1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitler's regime.
Anti-Jewish posters are everywhere, dissenting talk is
silenced, and a new law forbids Christine from returning to
her job--and from having any relationship with Isaac. In the
months and years that follow, Christine will confront the
Gestapo's wrath and the horrors of Dachau, desperate to be
with the man she loves, to survive--and finally, to speak out. Set against the backdrop of the German homefront, this is an
unforgettable novel of courage and resolve, of the
inhumanity of war, and the heartbreak and hope left in its
wake.
