No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Lovely story of life in Germany just after WWII. The struggle of common folks to find work and a place to live and food. It was a very hard time, but the wonderful characters never gave up hope and were always willing to help when they could. I loved the positive attitude of the book. I really loved the people and felt for them in the difficult situation. (  ) njcur | Feb 13, 2014 |  Immediate post-WWII Germany is the setting for this engaging book. The family consists of the mother and 4 children. One of the children lost her twin brother during the war, along with her dog. The father's last known location was a Russian camp. They've lost everything but each other, and have been foisted off by the refugee bureau on a reluctant widow who asked for a nice quiet couple. How they cope makes for a very interesting and ultimately hopeful story. Benary-Isbert is masterful at capturing bittersweet emotions in a few words. Highly recommended. ( ) satyridae | Apr 5, 2013 | Excellent juvenile fiction about a family's experiences in post-WW II Germany. (  ) leavesandpages | Dec 27, 2012 | Het gezin Lechow, waarvan de vader krijgsgevangen is en de oudste jongen gestorven, krijgt eindelijk na lang zwerven, in de plaats Hessen weer een eigen ruimte in een normaal huis. De oorlog in Duitland is dan al enige jaren achter de rug. Toch is er nog aan van alles gebrek en ook de werkgelegenheid is niet florissant te noemen. Desondanks weten een zoon en een dochter werk te vinden op een vrij welvarende boerderij. Voor de kerst zijn er al heel veel goede dingen gebeurd: een doodgewaande zoon van de boerin keert terug en dit houdt meteen een belofte in voor één van de meisjes. Nadat het gezin Lechow zich voorgoed bij de boerderij in een verbouwde spoorwagon (die de ark van Noach wordt genoemd) heeft gevestigd, keert ook vader Lechow terug. blauwebanden | Feb 24, 2010 |
 The Lechow family – Mother, 15-year-old Matthias, 14-year-old Margret, 10-year-old Andrea, and 7-year-old Joey – are apprehensively but optimistically looking forward to their new home. Since being displaced from their village in Pomerania in the early years of the war, they have been separated – Mother and Matthias to work camps and the younger children to various farms – but they are finally together again and have been travelling through Germany seeking some place of refuge amongst the hordes of other homeless, wretched, often-starving people. They had made it to Hamburg, for a brief respite among relatives, but with the city filled with Occupation troops they were unable to get a permit to stay, and were instead assigned to accommodation in a town in Hesse. Yet another boxcar ride, and then nine more months in a refugee barracks, and their turn for a housing assignment has finally come. Number Thirteen Parsley Street – the name sounds like something from a fairy tale, and they hold their breath in anticipation of what they will find there.
A gripping story of a young girl caught in the turmoil in Germany immediately after the end of World War II. A reissue. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
