Kingdom of Twilight

In the autumn of 1944, a young Polish Jew named Margarita Ejzenstain shoots an S.S. officer, igniting a chain reaction of violence that leads to the execution of thirty-seven innocent Poles. Fleeing with her newborn from the advancing Soviet army, Margarita's struggle unfolds alongside a tapestry of lives marked by war, including Jewish refugees and a resettled German family. Steven Uhly’s KINGDOM OF TWILIGHT delves into their intertwined destinies, exploring profound themes like love, guilt, and survival as they navigate a shattered world from Displaced Persons camps to cities like Lübeck, Berlin, Tel Aviv, and New York.
