Description
1970s, Calabrian Mountains, Italy.
Andreas Kuhlemann is searching to find a place, a place he could call home. Born with a latent mental defect to a Norwegian receptionist and a German officer, after the war he was repatriated to his father’s town in Germany and from there, adopted by an Italian railroad worker. Always moving, always feeling lost.
Meanwhile, Lorenzo Benedetta, who is searching for redemption, is Andreas's counterpoint. His search continues for forty hellish years, clawing his way back up after life kicks him down, determined to reach his goal. It's only when his unspeakable crime is brought to the courts that both men's stories come full circle. But will one find salvation and the other man's life have purpose, if only after death?
If you ever wondered what happened to the Lebensborn children, those that were intended to fulfil the Fuehrer’s desire in creating a master race, this is the extraordinary story of one of them.

Robin P, Reviewer
The story spans countries and continents, with the complexities of the plot revealed across decades. There are layers and layers of characterization set against the backdrop of WW2 and the problems that followed. All human emotion is laid bare with gritty realism and tear-jerking empathy. The detail is extraordinary with a great sense of place and time. This is a testament to the horrors of war and the small acts of kindness that have far-reaching consequences. A book this good cannot be forgotten and I know one day I will read it again.
