Description

Fifteen-year-old Hanka Kaudersová has ginger hair and clear, green eyes.

When her family is deported to Auschwitz, her mother, father and younger brother are sent to the gas chamber.

By a twist of fate, Hanka is faced with a simple alternative: follow her family, or work in an SS brothel behind the eastern front.

She chooses to live, her Aryan looks allowing her to disguise the fact that she is Jewish.

As the German army retreats from the Russian front, Hanka battles cold, hunger, fear and shame, sustained by her hatred for the men she entertains, her friendship with the mysterious Estelle, and her fierce, burning desire for life.

Lovely Green Eyes explores the compromises and sacrifices that an individual may make in order to survive, the way a woman can retain her identity in the face of appalling trauma, and the value of human life itself.

This is a remarkable novel, which soars beyond nightmare, leaving the reader with a transcendent sense of hope.
