#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
For readers of Ian McEwan, Elena Ferrante, and Julie Orringer, the spellbinding, internationally bestselling, multigenerational family saga set in a fractured rural village in WWI Austria. Maria and Josef live with their children in a valley in westernmost Austria. When the First World War breaks out and Josef is drafted into the army, Maria is left to provide for her family alone. Every day is a struggle against starvation, the harsh alpine climate and the hostile nearby villagers who see Maria as little more than a beautiful temptress out for the men left behind. But when a red-haired stranger arrives in the village, Maria feels happiness seep back into her life and she faces a choice whose consequences will affect the lives of her family for generations to come. Based on the internationally bestselling and award-winning Austrian novelist Monika Helfer's own family history, Last House Before the Mountain is a propulsive, haunting, multi-layered saga about love, family, and the hidden wages of war.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Bloomsbury PublishingISBN-13:9781635579871ISBN-10:1635579872UPC:9781635579871Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:Family Life, Historical, SagasBook Topic:20th CenturySize:8.49 x 5.79 x 0.87 inchesWeight:0.73Product ID:SCZX2Y6AMR
