Judges’ comments

When Polish Zophia becomes German Sophia adopted into a high ranking Nazi family her life becomes one of indulgence and luxury until an unexpected meeting with a person from her past reawakens long buried memories. Told in robust prose this heartfelt and harrowing story of loss and love, indoctrination and awakening, takes the reader on a multi-layered  journey where pain and joy are inextricably mixed.
