Lovers and Fugitives is a spellbinding tale of suspense set amidst the horrors of the Holocaust, an inspiring tribute to the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity, and a tender story of real people, locked in a common struggle, who redefine the word love. In this, Gabriella Mautner's superb second novel, she recounts the triumphs and the defeats of a German Jewish family in flight from the terrors of the Nazi camps.
Lovers and Fugitives is a spellbinding tale of suspense set amidst the horrors of the Holocaust, an inspiring tribute to the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity, and a tender story of real people, locked in a common struggle, who redefine the word love. In this, Gabriella Mautner's superb second novel, she recounts the triumphs and the defeats of a German Jewish family in flight from the terrors of the Nazi camps.
She tells a taut, convincing story-each border crossing is as gripping as the last, and the wartime life of shortages, rations and continuous fear is rendered with a fine eye for detail.

Meet the Author
When I began writing in English, it was my fifth language. As a young girl I wrote a novel and a collection of poetry in German and short stories in Italian. My family fled our home in Chemnitz, East Germany, at the onset of the Nazi regime. We moved to Italy and then sought refuge in Holland. In 1942, disobeying a German command to leave for a concentration camp, we fled through the maze of Nazi-occupied Belgium and France, finally reaching safety in Switzerland. We arrived in the United States in 1946.
