Book, Sonata in Auschwitz[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. With breathtaking descriptions and dialogues that reveal the best and cruelest in human beings, Sonata in Auschwitz confirms the author's vocation for historical romance. A baby born in the Auschwitz-Birkenau barracks in October 1944 and a sonata composed by a young German officer, on the same date, also in Auschwitz, give rise to two stories that intersect and complement each other. Decades later, Amália, Portuguese with German ancestry, begins to lift the veil on her family's Nazi past based on a score revealed to her by her great-grandmother. The doubt that her grandfather, presumed dead before the end of World War II, might be alive in Rio de Janeiro leads Amália to cross the ocean and meet a couple of Jewish Holocaust survivors. The rise of Nazism in Berlin, the saga of the Hungarian Jews in Transylvania, the mysteries that took place in the extermination camp in Poland and the post-war period in a house full of secrets on the edge of a lake in Potsdam offer the paths that Amália will follow to set up the puzzle.Luize Valente is an author whose plots are born from her privileged imagination and take shape with rigorous historical research. Prepared with extreme sensitivity and investigative precision, its narrative involves the reader in mystery, suspense and deep feelings.
