Review
Severn House adds to its engaging series of historical romances with the first in a new series by bestselling British author MacDonald set during in the devastating aftermath of World War II. Jewish sculptor Felix Breit has survived Nazi medical experiments at the Mauthausen concentration camp. He reaches London in 1947, where two architect friends, sensing that the war and its atrocities will utterly change humankind's perspectives on our capacity for good and unspeakable evil, rent a 60-room country manor, the Dower House, in the hope of establishing a commune dedicated to a "post-war renaissance." Their "community of the future" will include working class people, and all will strive for "the next stage of himself warning a Frenchwoman about the scars she'll get if she "keeps picking at the wound," thus establishing the tale's moral center amidst post-war tension. Blending a well researched setting with an unusual story line, MacDonald captures the era's specifics, and reaches for universal truths while probing wounded psyches in a damaged world. -- Booklist, September 15, 2011
