| Summary: | "Salo's Song is at once a love story, an account of the minutiae of day-to-day wartime existence, and a tribute to the survival power of the human spirit in the darkest of circumstances. It is the story of Ilse, a German-speaking Jew born between the wars in the Sudetenland. The emotional heart of the book resides in her love for her family - her younger sister, whom she protects and cares for, and her parents, whom she attempts to free for persecution in Europe - and Fred Tisch, the celebrated songwriter with whom she falls in love."--BOOK JACKET. |
