Two Necklaces

“Two Necklaces is a beautiful, compelling story of young love set during the rise of Nazism in Germany that you won't want to put down.” –Geneviève Montcombroux, author of Racing North In 1933, after Adolf Hitler is appointed chancellor of Germany, fourteen-year-old Christa Becker begins attending meetings of the League of German Girls, sharing the new regime's ideology with her brother Jürgen. But he sees things differently and refuses to distance himself from a Jewish friend, suffering grave consequences for his choice and causing Christa to question the regime's teachings. When she meets and falls in love with Paul, a Jewish jeweler, her life is thrown into turmoil, and she must enlist the help of her grandmother to navigate her developing relationship despite the escalating risks. Upheaval ensues, but she refuses to back down from her burning desire to be with Paul. Two Necklaces is the story of a German girl's coming of age who dares to think for herself at a time when that very act was dangerous, even life-threatening. It delves into the very nature of the human condition with its frailty, strength, and the struggle of mind and heart.
