For Paul, with love. Jewish silversmith Johann Blumenthal engraved those words on his most exquisite creation, a singing filigree bird inside a tiny ornamented box. He crafted this treasure for his young son before leaving to fight in a terrible war to honor his beloved country--a country that would soon turn against his own family. A half century later, Londoner Lilian Morrison inherits the box after the death of her parents. Though the silver is tarnished and dented, this much-loved treasure is also a link to an astonishing past. With the keepsake is a letter from Lilian's mother, telling her daughter for the first time that she was adopted. Too young to remember, Lilian was rescued from a Germany in the grips of the Holocaust. Now only she can trace what happened to a family who scattered to the reaches of the world, a family forced to choose between their heritage and their dreams for the future." -- $c Page 4 cover 650 0 $a Jews $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Holocaust survivors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adoptees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Music box $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Inheritance and succession $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Germany $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Literature & Fiction. $2 local 655 7 $a Historical. $2 local 655 7 $a Family Life. $2 local 700 1 $a Layland, Alison, $e translator. 941 $a 7 952 $l WFPC115 $d 20230215161005.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20220906015350.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20220608010814.0 952 $l TXPC862 $d 20180928010833.0 952 $l FBPC124 $d 20180627023153.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20180309010902.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20180302011639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72C189761DE711E88A9C381B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JUHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
