Heinrich Gimpel es un respetado oficial del mando supremo de la Armada alemana. Ciudadano ejemplar, vive en Berlín con su esposa y sus tres hijas, a quienes inculca los valores de la lealtad y la obediencia al Führer. La suya será la perfecta familia aria... sino fuera porque no pertenece a la raza superior. Como tantos otros berlineses, en un mundo dominado por los nazis, los Gimpel viven ocultando su condición de judíos: acatan las consignas del régimen ante los demás mientras rezan en soledad para que no les descubran. Ahora soplan vientos de cambio y tendrán que elegir entre seguridad y libertad... I was a little disappointing with this book. First of all, it took me ages. I kept picking it up and putting it down. That's never a good sign. Parts were great, others just dragged and dragged. I realize the point of all the card games, but I don't think that I needed to have a rundown on the rules, or who was pulling what card. It was way too much detail. The alternate world Turtledove set up was very good. In fact, I wouldn't have minded having more of that. I, however, was rather disappointed with the ending. It had a very unfinished feeling about it. But, I was happy to have finished the book. I was sick to death of having it stare at me from my bedside table! Having Jews secretly surviving in the alternate Nazi empire is an interesting and well- executed twist on the old alt.history cliche, but Turtledove yet again fails to come up with any alternative history - just retreads of the real thing. Just as the Jake Featherstone saga follows Hitler's career to the letter so the fall of the Nazi empire follows the fall of the USSR. To the letter. As soon as I read that the Fuhrer and his wife were off on holiday in Croatia I knew exactly what would ensue, and lo, it did. This kind of killed the suspense. Oh, and I could have seriously done without the blow-by-blow accounts of bridge games. One star for the idea, but shoddy plotting. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In the twenty-first century, Germany's Third Reich continues to thrive after its victory in World War II-keeping most of Europe and North America under its heel. But within the heart of the Nazi regime, a secret lives. Under a perfect Aryan facade, Jews survive-living their lives, raising their families, and fearing discovery . . .
