Annas Lied

Roman

A great European-Jewish family saga - a dazzling story about love and the liberating power of hope Copenhagen between the world wars: The political developments of the late 1930s are imminent, but the Koppelmans' apartment is still full of hustle and bustle, relatives, conversations and music. Hannah, the youngest of the four siblings, wants to become a musician herself one day, just like her brothers. But for her, the only girl, a different path is planned: It is up to her to preserve the family name and not disappoint her parents. War, flight and the separation from her great love Aksel take her to Paris into an arranged marriage. Far away from home, only music and Aksel's letters remind Hannah - actually Anna - of who she once wanted to be. Can she accept the responsibilities of life and still hold on to her own dreams? »Anna's Song« is a captivating and warmly told, globe-spanning story about forbidden love, loneliness and a sense of duty - and not least about the healing power of music, inspired by the Jewish heritage of Benjamin Koppel and his family. »Fantastic!« Dagbladens Bureau
