WE WERE THE LUCKY ONES - GEORGIA HUNTER KARTONI...

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Inspired by the incredible true story of one Jewish family separated
at the start of World War II  determined to survive-and to reunite-We Were the Lucky Ones is a
tribute to the triumph of hope and love against all odds. Love in the face of global adversity?
It couldn't be more timely. -Glamour It is the spring of 1939 and three generations of the Kurc
family are doing their best to live normal lives  even as the shadow of war grows closer. The
talk around the family Seder table is of new babies and budding romance  not of the increasing
hardships threatening Jews in their hometown of Radom  Poland. But soon the horrors overtaking
Europe will become inescapable and the Kurcs will be flung to the far corners of the world 
each desperately trying to navigate his or her own path to safety. As one sibling is forced
into exile  another attempts to flee the continent  while others struggle to escape certain
death  either by working grueling hours on empty stomachs in the factories of the ghetto or by
hiding as gentiles in plain sight. Driven by an unwavering will to survive and by the fear that
they may never see one another again  the Kurcs must rely on hope  ingenuity  and inner
strength to persevere. An extraordinary  propulsive novel  We Were the Lucky Ones demonstrates
how in the face of the twentieth century's darkest moment  the human spirit can endure and even
thrive.
