À propos de cet audio

"A remarkable novel: chilling, compelling, contained..." The Times

"...warrants a permanent place in the growing canon of World War Two literature." Clare McHugh, BBC Culture

It is Christmas Eve 1932, and the Kluger family are celebrating at home. Their only daughter Lexa is excited about her upcoming summer wedding to Moritz Weissmann, a promising young doctor.


Lexa has many admirers, but her heart belongs to Moritz, who is initially welcomed by her parents and two brothers, Helmy and Erich. As the year progresses, Lexa enjoys skiing, swimming and going to parties with Moritz and her friends. But little by little Moritz is excluded from the pool, the library, and eventually his own home.

As support for the Nazi Party grows rapidly across the country, Lexa’s own brothers, now fervent members of the Nazi Youth, turn against Moritz. Under immense pressure and desperate to be together, Lexa and Moritz have to meet in secret.

By midsummer, the once close-knit Kluger family are now fractured by irreconcilable beliefs and differing loyalties. When legislation strips the town’s Jewish citizens of their rights and their livelihoods, Lexa remains steadfast in her determination to stay true to Moritz.

Crooked Cross is part of the Persephone Audiobook Collection, a series of forgotten classics including neglected fiction and non-fiction by women writers. This novel was first published in 1934.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Gripping... utterly vivid.”
“…warrants a permanent place in the growing canon of World War Two literature.” (Clare McHugh)
“Cautionary, prescient... un-putdownable.”
“Sally Carson’s prescient novel offers an unflinching look at the early days of Nazism, resonating with today’s fears of lost boys, strong men and old hatreds... A remarkable novel: chilling, compelling, contained... a propulsive read....”
“Perhaps one of the most important books Persephone has ever reissued.... Astonishingly readable, a family saga with a propulsive terrible energy to it and I have raced through it the last two days... I so recommend this book to everyone.” (Harriet Evans, novelist)

An exquisitely written and incredibly well spoken story. Tragic and timeless, it’s gripping until the very end.

Tragically timeless

Beautifully written, frighteningly told, a family who reacted to Hitler in different ways. Opened my eyes. What would I have done?
