The Second Winter

â€œA great historical novel, a touching family saga, and a noir wartime thriller all rolled into one terrific narrative.â€ â€”Lee Child,Â New York TimesÂ best-selling author

Set in Denmark in the darkest days of World War II, THE SECOND WINTER is a cinematic novel that, in its vivid portrayal of a family struggling to survive the German occupation, both captures a savage moment in history and exposes the violence and want inherent in a father's love.
Â
It is 1941. In occupied Denmark, an uneasy relationship between the Danish government and the Germans allows the country to function under the protection of Hitlerâ€™s army, while Danish resistance fighters wage a bloody, covert battle against the Nazis.Â Fredrik Gregersen, a brutish, tormented caretaker of a small farm in Jutland laboring to keep his son and daughter fed, profits from helping Jewish fugitives cross the border into Sweden. Meanwhile, in Copenhagen, Polina, a young refugee from Krakow, finds herself impressed into prostitution by Germans and Danes alike. When Fredrik steals a precious necklace from a helpless family of Jews, his own familyâ€™s fate becomes intertwined with Polinaâ€™s, triggering a ripple effect that will take decades and the fall of the Berlin Wall to culminate.
