Fiction
London, l960: Renate von Hasselmann, a nineteen-year-old
German au pair, arrives at Victoria Station prepared to meet
her new charges, Caroline and Maggie Whitaker. Yet she is
ill-prepared for their parents: the mother, Helen, knows
more about Nazi Germany than Renate does, and the father,
Jack, disarms Renate with his quicksilver charm. In Sarah Pleydell's debut novel Cologne (FUZE Publishing;
October, 2012; $14.95 trade paperback), childhood and
history collide, blurring the distinctions between victim
and victor, ruin and redemption. With delicate humor,
Pleydell presents a portrait of a family on the cusp of
great social change, while reminding us that the traumas of
war revisit the children of the peace.
