In 1941, after discovering tuberculosis, Liese, is taken to a
sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland by her aunt. The book traces
Liese's incarceration in the sanatorium where she meets various
characters, including her Greek-Jewish friend, Antigone. Upon Nazi
orders in 1942 the sanatorium expels all the Jewish patients
including Liese and Antigone under the pretext to have their papers
checked. However, once they arrive at a small train station in
Italy, they are surrounded by German SS troops with whips and
vicious dogs. An old family friend from Vienna rescues Liese by
pushing her under a train. He finds shelter for Liese in an Italian
village church where she encounters a dangerous sexton. She is
quickly transported to a forest underground bunker where she meets
a number of compelling characters and remains there until
liberation by a friendly U.S. Army.
