An SS officer is shot dead by a young Polish Jew, Margarita Ejzenstain. In retaliation, his commander orders the execution of thirty-seven Poles--one for every year of the dead man's life. First hidden by a sympathetic German couple, Margarita must then flee the brutal advance of the Soviet army with her newborn baby. So begins a thrilling panorama of intermingled destinies and events that reverberate from that single act of defiance. Kingdom of Twilight follows the lives of Jewish refugees and a German family resettled from Bukovina, as well as a former SS officer, chronicling the geographical and psychological dislocation generated by war. A quest for identity and truth takes them from refugee camps to LuÌbeck, Berlin, Tel Aviv, and New York, as they try to make sense of a changed world, and of their place in it. Hypnotically lyrical and intensely moving, Steven Uhly's epic novel is a finely nuanced yet shattering exploration of universal themes: love, hatred, doubt, survival, guilt, humanity, and redemption. 650 0 $a Refugee camps $v Fiction. 650 0 $a National socialism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a War stories. 700 1 $a Bulloch, Jamie, $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20190619010602.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180914010129.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76AD4AFCB7E311E8917C9B2097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
