We Two: A Novel

Description

Experience one of the most emotionally resonant novels of the 20th century. Edna Lyall’s We Two is a deeply moving story of love, loss, and the enduring bond between two women facing the unimaginable horrors of the Holocaust. Set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Poland, the narrative follows the intertwined lives of a Polish woman and a German woman who find a desperate, desperate solidarity in a world falling apart.\n\nLyall captures the profound complexity of human connection under extreme circumstances. Her prose is both lyrical and unflinching, refusing to sentimentalize suffering while refusing to ignore the beauty that can exist even in the darkest of places. This is a novel about what it means to love someone when everything you know is being destroyed, and what remains when everything else is gone.
