As she pats her hair and straightens her skirt, she tells herself this isn't the first time she's lost someone. Lifting a delicate, battered wristwatch from a little box on her dresser, she presses it to her cheek. Suddenly, she's lost in memory... January 1945. Dachau, Germany. As the train rattles through the bright, snowy Bavarian countryside, the still beauty outside the window hides the terrible scenes inside the train, where men and women are packed together, cold and terrified. Jewish watchmaker Isaac Sch $l ler can't understand how he came to be here, and is certain he won't be leaving alive. When the prisoners arrive at Dachau concentration camp, Isaac is unexpectedly pulled from the crowd and installed in the nearby household of Senior Officer Becher and his young, pretty, spoiled wife. With his talent for watchmaking, Isaac can be of use to Becher, but he knows his life is only worth something here as long as Becher needs his skills. Anna Reznick waits table and washes linens for the Bechers, who dine and socialise and carry on as if they don't constantly have death all around them. When she meets Isaac she knows she's found a true friend, and maybe more. But Dachau is a dangerous place where you can never take love for granted, and when Isaac discovers a heartbreaking secret hidden in the depths of Becher's workshop, it will put Anna and Issac in terrible danger..."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Clock and watch makers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women household employees $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Dachau (Germany) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Germany $x History $y 1945-1955 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 4 952 $l HQPD845 $d 20240516015226.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104020807.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230104013411.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220412014718.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=166D61F6BA2611ECB53FBC0B2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
