used books,books, There are three things that Prussian aristocrat Lili von Rittersburg zu Mertz-Tärnekow has put on a pedestal in her beloved Germany: her father, her music, and Adolf Hitler. One of them is about to fall from favor. Set between 1933 and 1938 in Third Reich Germany and New York, FATHERLAND chronicles an inter-generational discord over conflicting beliefs that can lead to the difference between life and death. Adolf Hitler is a guest at a dinner party in Lili’s family home in Berlin when he hears her perform on the harpsichord. Impressed by her prodigious talent, he declares it Lili’s life duty to share her musical gift with the fatherland. She takes him to heart. But when Hitler is elected as head of state in 1933, Lili’s farsighted father moves the family to New York. Lili is furious with him. How can she fulfill her destiny from so far away? The father-daughter relationship grows increasingly strained. The more he claims that the Nazis are poisoning their once cultured homeland, the more determined Lili is to prove her father wrong. Despite her parents’ misgivings, Lili wrangles a visit to the Third Reich. There, her musical virtuosity scales new heights. And there, too, she willfully engages in everything her father has warned her against. Will Lili recognize the possible consequences of her moral confusion before it is too late? The answer might not be what one imagines. Quietly powerful, with richly detailed imagery, FATHERLAND caref.
