{"product_id":"fur-elise-a-novel","title":"Für Elise: A Novel","description":"He waited half his life for a homecoming, only to discover his home no longer existed.\n. . . But perhaps he can create a new one.\n\nIn 1956, more than a decade after the end of World War II, Hans Becker is finally released from a Soviet POW camp and returns to Germany. The reunion is disheartening—his beloved Dresden is largely blackened rubble, and his feelings of disorientation and melancholy hinder his attempt to revive the life—and love—he left behind.\n\nElise, the once delicate teenager whose memory Hans carried in his heart, has, through unspeakable trauma, transformed into a strong, independent woman skeptical of love. Yet just as she and Hans can spot traces of splendor in the ruins and oppression of Iron Curtain–era Dresden, so they each can see flashes of what attracted them to their long-ago sweetheart. But they—and their world—have changed so much. Are they willing to risk everything to seek a new beginning?\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0F8SC8Z7Z\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.B0F8SC8Z7Z.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Splitstone, Mark\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
