La Femme de nos vies

La Femme de nos vies intertwines the fate and the enigma of Hanna Singer, a young German Jewish woman smuggled out of Germany in 1938 on Albert Einstein’s orders and with his help. Decades later, the narrator’s encounter with Hanna’s voice revives the investigation into her story, told in a fast-paced narrative built around a central motif: what we owe to the living and the dead. “She saved my life when I was fourteen, at a time when the Nazi doctors considered me a defective to be eliminated…” — a prelude to the figure of Hanna Singer, “the woman of our lives,” around whom the narrative revolves.
