Clara: A Novel: War Could Not Destroy Her Spirit or Lessen Her Love by Kurt Palka - Paperback This book is in a good condition with minor wear to the pages, binding, and possible minor marks within. A sweeping tale of love and friendship, for readers of Suite Francaise, The Reader, and The Imposter Bride. Clara Herzog is a privileged, intelligent, and thoughtful young woman whose world is changed forever when 1930s Vienna is swept up by the dark prelude of the Second World War. The cavalry officer she married in spite of her family's objections is soon called away to the thick of the conflict, and it falls to Clara, as to so many mothers, wives, sisters, and sweethearts through the centuries, to stay at home to provide and protect. Through the war, its aftermath, and into the present, Clara must make choices and take risks that are as heroic and life-altering as any that men make in battle. She is an unforgettable character, and this is an unforgettable novel about family bonds and women's deep friendships, about courage and the love that can endure even in unimaginable times.
