«Una storia dal ritmo incalzante, che avvolge il lettore senza tralasciare le profondità dell’animo umano.»
The Guardian

«Il ritratto potente, incisivo e acuto di una giovane donna capace di eccellere anche là dove si annida il pericolo più grande.»
Kirkus Review

«Colpi di scena, azione e una protagonista coraggiosa e brillante gli ingredienti ci sono tutti per fare della "Bambina di Hitler" un romanzo indimenticabile.»
The Bookseller

Pensavano fosse una di loro.
Ma si sbagliavano.
Perché nessuno può fermarla.
 
Sarah ha quindici anni quando la sua esistenza viene capovolta. Degli uomini in divisa le portano via tutto ciò a cui tiene di più. Le resta solo la voce di sua madre, che le ricorda che è viva e deve impegnarsi per resistere. È il 28 agosto 1939. Mancano pochi giorni allo scoppio della guerra e i nazisti pattugliano ogni angolo del paese per impedire che gli ebrei fuggano dalla Germania. Per loro, come per Sarah, non c’è via di scampo. Ma anche in un deserto di umanità si può trovare una mano pronta a offrire un aiuto insperato. Per Sarah, questo aiuto viene dalla spia britannica Jeremy Floyd, che si accorge subito di quella ragazzina, incapace di piegarsi alla meschinità umana. In lei rivede sé stesso e nei suoi occhi blu legge determinazione e desiderio di riscatto. Le propone allora uno scambio se accetterà di trasformarsi in una giovane hitleriana e di rubare informazioni al nemico, le farà attraversare il confine. Di fronte all’offerta della salvezza, Sarah non può tirarsi indietro. A poco a poco, tra i banchi di una prestigiosa scuola per rampolli del regime, si cala nei panni di una perfetta bambina di Hitler, trafugando dati riservati e facendosi amica la figlia di una potente famiglia che ha contatti diretti con il Führer. Ma più si insinua in questa oscura realtà, più si rende conto del male di cui gli uomini sono capaci. Finché, quasi per caso, si imbatte in un segreto troppo grande per lei. Un segreto che le rende ancora più faticoso fingersi quello che non è e fa vacillare la speranza in un futuro migliore. Ma deve trovare il coraggio di andare fino in fondo, perché la posta in gioco è troppo alta e spesso la libertà si paga a caro prezzo.
La bambina di Hitler è un caso editoriale. All’estero, se lo sono conteso i grandi nomi dell’editoria internazionale e la critica lo ha definito un romanzo sconvolgente, che racconta l’Olocausto come nessuno ha mai fatto prima. La voce affilata e tagliente di Matt Killeen descrive il dramma antisemita da una prospettiva inedita e originale, quella di una ragazza coraggiosa, pronta a tutto, anche a farsi complice del nemico per difendere il diritto inalienabile alla propria umanità.

Elegant Defense An The Extraordinary New Science of the Immune System A Tale in Four Lives Matt Richtel 9780062698537 Books Reviews


  • Generally, I enjoyed this book but it unfortunately contains quite a few annoying errors. For example, you do not treat ‘mono’ with antibiotics (it’s a virus), and the important discovery of penicillin by Fleming involved the bacterial genus Staphylococcus not Streptococcus.
    So yes, it’s a fun book; however, be careful regarding some of the sloppy scientific writing.
  • Fantastic read! Richtel compellingly interweaves the science and history of immunology into the lives of four patients, each dealing with different aspects of immune function & dysfunction overreaction, underreaction, recognizing self as enemy, recognizing enemy as self, and much more.

    It's an ambitious premise, and he pulls it off magnificently. I had to read the whole thing in one sitting. What makes the book supremely compelling is the vivid story of his childhood friend Jason's cancer treatment. Jason not only granted Richtel access to all of his medical records and doctor visits, but also had the kind of revelatory long talks and walks that only best friends can have. The result is an unusually well-rounded psychological portrait of a patient, along with the intricately winding course of his treatment that reads like a detective story, except real. The tales are poignant, and I found myself crying (and laughing) multiple times.

    As someone who's studied immunology twice, as both biologist and medical student, I found the book a useful refresher of immune function, with some updates into the 21st century. If you do not have a background in immunology, however, this is a must-read. Every day, billions of malign agents are trying to kill you, and fail only because your immune system is on guard. How does it recognize and ward off the infinitude of potential pathogens that could invade you and lay you low? How can it tell outsiders from insiders? And how does it put the brakes on itself when it's in full defense mode?
    The inner workings the immune system should make you gasp with wonder at the beauty of how nature could come up with something so insanely intricate and effective. It's literally keeping you alive every moment of every day, so do yourself a favor and read up on your T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, interferons, and cytokines so you can better appreciate this miracle that's protecting your body night and day.
    -- Ali Binazir, M.D., M.Phil., Happiness Engineer and author of The Tao of Dating The Smart Woman's Guide to Being Absolutely Irresistible, the highest-rated dating book on , and Should I Go to Medical School? An Irreverent Guide to the Pros and Cons of a Career in Medicine
  • In An Elegant Defense The Extraordinary New Science of the Immune System A Tale in Four Lives, Richtel explains how medical research has overturned what we think we know about ourselves and our environment The book tells the story of four individuals whose immune systems were the key to their health — or to their illness; their stories are used to explore, in clear terms, the history of the research into the immune system and exactly how we now understand it to work.

    An interesting read regarding our understanding of the immune system and how society is effecting it.
  • Based upon the title and reviews I expected something comparable to the Emperor of All Maladies, to which it aspired. I should have been more attentive - as the tip off is that the author, unlike Siddhartha Mukherjee, is a NYT writer with no background in medicine. Consequently, the book reads like a poor Hollywood script - lots of social drama, precious little about the immune system - history of what we've learned, how it functions, etc. Nothing close to the research and wealth of engaging material in Emperor of All Maladies.
  • Must read for anyone interested in the immune system. Couldn’t put the book down for several days until it was finished.
  • I heard an interview with the author on the Savage Nation podcast, interviewed by Dr. Michael Savage. I was so interested in what the author said, that I soon after bought the book on . I am not a big non-fiction book reader, but this book has been very hard to put down. The author is a journalist, and a writer, and passes the history and knowledge that he discovered in such a way that though it is non-fiction, you feel you are reading a story. I have not gotten to the end yet, but already I have learned things, or had things I'd been researching on my own for personal reasons, confirmed or clarified. This is not a medical tome written by a doctor, this is book written by a friend because of a friend. If you have loved ones with autoimmune problems or diseases, buy and read this book, and gain hope.
  • I was looking forward to learning about the immune system and I did learn quite a bit. The author presented key concepts and introduced us to numerous scientists who broke new ground getting to these understandings. The book certainly follows the structural path of other biological books I've read lately. That is, he follows the scientists in a roughly chronological path as he presents their discoveries and then relates the progress to treatment of some specific patients.

    The reading flowed nicely, I never felt like giving it up or bogged down anywhere. Yet all in all it was somewhat disappointing for me in several aspects. Written by a non-scientist, the actual layout and function of the immune system did not come across in a clear, uncluttered, memorable framework. Come to think of it there was not even any description in even minimal depth of the lymphatic system, which certainly is involved. And the scientists were so numerous and their personal stories minimal enough that it was almost a waste of time trying to humanize them and their work.

    His primary exploration of a patient was with his friend Jason, and he did a good job of that. Yet I didn't find myself nearly as enamored of Jason as the author was.

    So I'd say it's a good book to read but I won't recommend it highly to my friends.
  • Tremendously educational book with lots of science. Written with great stories in a conversational style that makes it easy to follow the technical info.

From the USA Today bestselling author of My Sister Is Missing

Lily’s gone.
Someone took her.
Unless she was she never there…

A little girl has gone missing.

Lily was last seen being tucked into bed by her adoring mother, Nova. But the next morning, the bed is empty except for a creepy toy rabbit.

Has Nova’s abusive ex stolen his “little bunny” back for good?

At first, Officer Ellie James assumes this is a clear custody battle. Until she discovers that there are no pictures of the girl and her drawers are full of unused toys and brand new clothes that have never been worn…

Is Ellie searching for a missing child who doesn’t actually exist?


Ebook Without a Trace edition by Carissa Ann Lynch Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks


"What a powerful story! I’ve read all of Carissa’s books but this one definitely stands out amongst them and is now my absolute new favorite of hers. It is so powerful not only due to the fascinating plot but because of an important subject it deals with - domestic abuse and the victim’s attempt to fight back. It was terrifying to read at times because the topic, now finally so widely discussed and not silenced anymore, hits so close to home; reading about Nova and her little daughter Lily I kept thinking about all the articles I’ve read and news I've seen in which an abusive partner killed his wife/girlfriend and/or kidnapped their child. But whereas the news articles and reports often offer a short and dry account of the events, Carissa invites the reader into the very mind of the victim and perpetrator, and she does it so masterfully that I found it chilling to read through certain scenes. What I also enjoyed immensely is the growth and transformation of all three main characters (I won’t give away any spoilers but you’ll understand everything in the end) and the newfound strength that connected them as the case with the missing girl progressed. Brilliantly written, haunting and chilling, “Without a Trace” is a true must read for everyone, not just readers interested in thrillers. Bravo!"

  • The beginning of the story seemed so typical of the abusive husband saga (of which there are so many lately) but then it takes a different direction w/Nova's escape. Then it gets weird....her daughter Lily disappears- Nova behaves incoherant, terrified of being outdoors, portrayed as mentally ill. With no sign of Lily we are not sure if she ever existed or a figment of a mentally unstable woman's imagination. Next Nova herself disappears mysteriously and again we are left wondering if her ex husband found & killed her. The story was told from 4 POV. Nova, Ellie, the cop, Clara the mysterious neighbor and Martin, the husband. At first I was drawn into the mystery of Nova....is she psychotic? Imagining things? Then she disappears from the story altogether. The rest of the book is about finding Nova and Lily. The book was easy to read, and the characters well defined but lacking genuine emotion.
    My problem was with the plot. Towards the end pieces of the mystery are revealed and at this point things got very confusing, don't want to reveal too much. In my opinion the last quarter of the book was lacking in believability and kind of ridiculous. So many other options, simpler options could have resolved this messy ending
    It's like the author goes out of her way to create a scenario that A- is confusing, and B- so over the top that it becomes anticlimactic and the ending falls flat.
    So I personally would not reccomend it, looking back it was kind of lame.
  • Carissa Ann Lynch knows how to write a story to keep you hanging on until the very end.

    I had no clue what was true and what wasn’t. I was doubting everything said by every character.

    I love her writing and the little twists she puts in to make you stop and think but never put the book down.

    There one minute and gone the next, or was she ever really there? If she was, how was all traces of Lily erased so thoroughly?
  • I could not put this down. This book was amazing ! I would recommend it for everyone who loves suspense, it definitely kept me guessing until the end!
  • I liked the twists and turns. Was a very easy read.
  • This book is a cleverly crafted testiment to Carissa’s talent. I loved the twists and story development. She kept me guessing until the end. Easily a five-star read.
  • Other than the use of some, what I consider inappropriate language, I enjoyed reading Without a Trace, that's why I rated it four stars. I loved the way the story was brought together, the unfolding of the mystery. In many ways it was a story, not just of Nova, but of many women, maybe even you. It's time the story was told.
  • Really enjoyed this. Easy read fast Paced .wish I could I had some one t o egg me on. Started to write had several real pages
