INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *A Today Show #ReadWithJenna Book
Club Pick* *An Indie Next Great Read* '[A] vivid depiction of a
family's heartbreak, its rending and rebuilding.' - Clare Lombardo,
New York Times Book Review 'Spanning generations and continents,
from pre-WWII Germany to current day midwestern America, Send For
Me is a richly imagined testament to the ties that bind.' Whitney
Scharer Germany 1930s. Annelise is a dreamer: imagining her future
while working at her parents' popular bakery in Feldenheim,
Germany, anticipating all the delicious possibilities yet to come.
There are rumours that anti-Jewish sentiment is on the rise, but
Annelise and her parents can't quite believe that it will affect
them; they're hardly religious at all. But as Annelise falls in
love, marries, and gives birth to her daughter Ruthie, the dangers
grow closer: a brick thrown through her window; a childhood friend
who cuts ties with her; customers refusing to patronise the bakery.
Luckily Annelise and her husband are given the chance to leave for
America, but they must go without her parents, whose future and
safety are uncertain. Two generations later, in a small Midwestern
city, Ruthie's daughter and Annelise's granddaughter, Clare, is a
young woman newly in love. But when she stumbles upon her
grandmother's letters from Germany, she sees the history of her
family's sacrifices in a new light, and suddenly she's faced with
an impossible choice: the past, or her future. A novel of dazzling
emotional richness that is based on letters from Lauren Fox's own
family, Send for Me is an epic and intimate exploration of mothers
and daughters, duty and obligation, hope and forgiveness.
