Under A Different Star (Paperback)

Hitler's Germany, 1940. The privileged, opera-loving daughter (Anita) of a high-ranking government official with strong links to the SS falls in love with the son of a Polish-German Jew (Franz-Theo), whose father has already been taken by the Gestapo. He lives perilously, under constant threat of discovery as their love withstands every attack, even when Anita's domineering, ambitious father sets the SS onto their relationship. Terrible choices force desperate decisions and fracture families, until their only answer to 'the final solution' is to abandon their homeland and emigrate to Australia. Providence provides the chance to run a remote, dilapidated guesthouse on Phillip Island, testing their ingenuity afresh. This true love story of commitment and courage in WWII has universal appeal. Anita's position bridging Nazi German society with her Jewish soulmate is unique. Their daring, patience and endurance in Europe and Australia are inspirational for a new generation and form sobering remembrance for all.
