Synopsis "A World Elsewhere: An American Woman in Wartime Germany"
The extraordinary love story of an American blueblood and a German aristocratand a riveting tale of survival in wartime GermanySigrid MacRae never knew her father, until a trove of letters revealed not only him, but also the singular story of her parents intercontinental love affair. While visiting Parisin 1927, her American mother, Aimée, raised in a wealthy Connecticut family, falls in love with a charming, sophisticated Baltic German baron, a penniless exile of the Russian revolution. They marry. But the harsh reality of postWorld War I Germany is inescapable: a bleak economy and the rise of Hitler quash Heinrichs diplomaticambitions, and their struggling family farm north of Berlin drains Aimées modest fortune. In 1941, Heinrich volunteers for the Russian front and is killed by a sniper. Widowed, living in a country soon at war with her own, Aimée must fend for herself. With home and family in jeopardy, she and her six young children flee the advancingRussian army in an epic journey, back to the country she thought shed left behind.A World Elsewhere is a stirring narrative of two hostages to history and a mothers courageous fight to save her family.
