Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring her family's dark legacy, Julie Lindahl embarks on a six-year quest across Germany, Poland, Paraguay, and Brazil to uncover her grandparents' involvement with the SS during the Third Reich. As she confronts the profound guilt that haunts her lineage, she reveals her grandfather's brutal actions in occupied Poland and his subsequent escape to South America. The pendulum used by her grandmother symbolizes the search for truth amid moral ambiguity, while the kindness of strangers reshapes Julie's understanding of her family's past and her own identity.
