Línea de fuga

Werner is a member of Nazi Germany's Hitler Youth as the country prepares for war. His family has a great secret, and when it is revealed Werner is forced to flee across Europe. His flight takes him first to Trieste, and then to France. Lertxundi alternates reflection, action and suspense in this captivating novel, leading the reader to a fascinating denouement. The graphic story of Werner and his time will leave no one indifferent. The events, dialogue, silences and, above all, memorable characters and moving stories will etch themselves deeply onto the reader's mind. 'My story should find shelter in silence: because what I did before I found out I was Jewish does not deserve to be told, and because despite my subsequent behaviour I have not made sufficient ammends to be forgiven for those acts.'
