{"product_id":"my-mothers-silver-fox-9781803095967","title":"My Mother's Silver Fox","description":"\u003cb\u003eA gripping, deeply moving novel about one man's search for truth and identity in the long shadow of war.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Heinz Fitz has only one tangible clue to his past: a worn piece of paper from the SS-Lebensborn program, a Nazi initiative designed to promote so-called racial purity. His mother, a Norwegian woman, fell in love with the wrong man--an Austrian soldier--during the German occupation. Betrayed and abandoned, she fled to Austria, only to be turned away by his family. Branded a collaborator in her homeland and a pariah in a foreign land, she was left to survive as best she could. Now, years later, her son is determined to piece together the fragments of his origins. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But every answer leads to more questions, and as he unearths painful truths, an alternative story--one of resilience, love, and survival--emerges from the darkness. Inspired by real events, Alois Hotschnig's novel is both a fierce reckoning with history and a poignant tribute to a mother's strength. A masterful meditation on memory and storytelling, \u003ci\u003eMy Mother's Silver Fox\u003c\/i\u003e asks whether the past can ever truly be understood--or if it will always slip through our grasp, like snow through our fingers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlois Hotschnig\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning Austrian writer whose works have been translated into several languages.
