An Electrifying, Historical Novel Across Continents. In 1941, the Nazis' brutal attack on Russia causes the flight of young Klara Grossman, who then meets and marries Warsaw-born Volya Warschawski. The young couple, alone and terrified, go on a perilous journey through the exotic Asian lands Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. That is, until an unexpected and shocking separation causes their lives to unravel into a desperate fight for survival. As Klara travels back through war-torn Europe with her infant child to search for her husband, she is haunted by the question of whether her biological mother is still alive, and the circumstances of her birth. Joining Klara and Volya in this interlocking story of desire, passion and memory is Henryk Szysmo, a young Red Army soldier who for the first time, violates his instinctive behavior of not getting involved in anything, even love. Readers of Klara's War will witness how the inner war of these unforgettable characters reaches a thrilling climax during the turbulent, post-war era of Israel's War of Independence in May, 1948.
