THE LIGHT AFTER THE WAR

Anita Abriel

Perfect for fans of We Were the Lucky Ones, The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Alice Network, Anita Abriel’s THE LIGHT AFTER THE WAR, a true story based on the author’s mother survival during the war, is a sweeping tale about one woman who discovers love for the first time, only to lose it shortly after succumbing to its hold. But, it is amid unbearable heartache and with the strength of friendship, that Vera finds the courage to build a new life and face her family’s tribulations during and after WWII.

It is 1946 when two young Hungarian refugees arrive in Naples. Cautious and disciplined in nature, Vera Frankel is determined to start anew with her best friend, Edith Ban, amidst the loss of their parents and everything they loved before the war. They escaped from a train headed for Auschwitz and were hidden by farmers until the end of the war. Now, they want to be far from Hungary. Their only hope for survival in this new land comes in the form of a letter of recommendation from an American general to an American captain at the United States embassy. What Vera doesn’t realize, however, is that love awaits her…and she will find it with the handsome captain, Anton Wight. Vera’s search for a better life without persecution will eventually take her and Edith to Ellis Island, Venezuela and Australia.
