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.
