The Plum Tree
of Ellen Marie Wiseman (Goodreads Author)
Description
A deeply moving and masterfully written story of human resilience and enduring love, The Plum Tree follows a young German woman through the chaos of World War II and its aftermath. âBloom where youâre planted,â is the advice Christine Bolz receives from her beloved Oma. But seventeen-year-old domestic Christine knows there is a whole world waiting beyond her small German village. Itâs a world sheâs begun to glimpse through music, booksâand through Isaac Bauerman, the cultured son of the wealthy Jewish family she works for. Yet the future she and Isaac dream of sharing faces greater challenges than their difference in stations. In the fall of 1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitlerâs regime. Anti-Jewish posters are everywhere, dissenting talk is silenced, and a new law forbids Christine from returning to her jobâand from having any relationship with Isaac. In the months and years that follow, Christine will confront the Gestapoâs wrath and the horrors of Dachau, desperate to be with the man she loves, to surviveâand finally, to speak out. Set against the backdrop of the German home front, this is an unforgettable novel of courage and resolve, of the inhumanity of war, and the heartbreak and hope left in its wake.
