The Prisoner

By Sally Carson

Originally published in 1936, this is the sequel to Crooked Cross, and continues the story of the Kluger family as the Nazi party takes over life in Germany. Set mostly in Munich, it sees Erich's commitment to the Party grow, while his younger brother, Helmy, struggles to accept some of its strictures.

Sally Carson was an English novelist but a frequent visitor to Germany at the time.
