Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. **Crooked Cross** is at its heart a love story, but it is also an extraordinarily prescient account of the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany seen through the eyes of the fictional Kluger family. The only daughter, Lexa Kluger, is engaged to be married to Moritz Weissmann, a young doctor with a bright future ahead of him or so it seems on Christmas Eve 1932 Reprinted to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two, **Crooked Cross** is one of the best accounts weve read of why some young men who feel disaffected, lost or ignored turn towards authoritarian governments. "Do you _want_ another war, Helmy? asked Frau Kluger quietly, keeping her eyes on the bread she was cutting. I dont know, he answered miserably. I dont know what I want. I want something we all want something we all want to be somebody, want to have something make something. You mean you all want to break something, broke in Lexa sharply. And when youve broken everything you can touch what dyou think youll do then?" **Crooked Cross** was published to critical acclaim in 1934 (Gripping and moving - Daily Mirror, A book everyone should read and remember - Coventry Herald) and Sally Carson followed it up with two sequels (_The Prisoner_ and _A Traveller Came By_) and a play (a dramatised version of **Crooked Cross**). But in 1938 she married, had three babies in 3 years, and tragically died of breast cancer at the age of just thirty-nine. She was then all but forgotten for decades, as was **Crooked Cross** until now Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
