Jerome Ostrov
Acerca de esta escucha
In Ways Unimagined is the first of two completed novels that comprise Jerome Ostrov’s World War II saga When Country Calls. The story begins in April 1933, shortly after enactment of the Nazi exclusionary laws prohibiting Jews from occupying university positions. Respected anthropologist Anton Sternbloom has determined there is no longer any future for him at the University of Hamburg.
Anton and his wife Hannah decide to leave Germany. Anton and his adolescent son Jonathan set sail for England, where one of Anton’s colleagues wants him to teach. However, they are without Hannah, who has insisted on visiting her ailing mother in Danzig, one last time. As Hannah begins a perilous rail trip to the Polish border and Danzig, she reflects on her tearful separation from her husband and son and dreams of being with them in England.
Anton and Jonathan, too, long to be reunited with Hannah. But no news comes. As they await word from Hannah, father and son set out to reclaim their lives in their newly adopted country. Haltingly, Anton and Jonathan move forward, burdened by both the uncertainty of Hannah’s fate as well as the anti-Semitic prejudices of the day.
Touching on both sides of the Atlantic, the novel follows Anton through the evolving ranks of academia, the rarified precincts of British intelligence, and the code-breaking world of Bletchley Park, as he is propelled to his final duty post in the unforgiving battlefields of 1942 North Africa. Along the way, the listener is introduced to an array of real and fictional characters, whose presence highlights the challenges and perils of a world spiraling out of control.

Historia
At 18, Alexandra Wickham is presented to King George V and Queen Mary in an exquisite white lace and satin dress her mother has ordered from Paris. With her delicate blond looks, she is a stunning beauty who seems destined for a privileged life. But fate, a world war, and her own quietly rebellious personality lead her down a different path. By 1939, Europe is on fire and England is at war. From her home in idyllic Hampshire, Alex makes her way to London as a volunteer in the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry. But she has skills that draw the attention of another branch of the service.

Historia
At the height of WWII, five idealistic young Americans receive a mysterious letter from the OSS, asking them if they are willing to fight for their country. The men and women from very different backgrounds - a Texan athlete with German roots, an upper-crust son of a French mother and a wealthy businessman, a dirt-poor Midwestern fly fisherman, an orphaned fashion designer, and a ravishingly beautiful female fencer - all answer the call of duty, but each for a secret reason of his or her own. They bond immediately, in a group code-named Dragonfly.

A deeply personal work about identity and belonging in a nation coming apart at the seams, Homeland Elegies blends fact and fiction to tell an epic story of longing and dispossession in the world that 9/11 made. Part family drama, part social essay, part picaresque novel, at its heart it is the story of a father, a son, and the country they both call home.

What a ride!
The reliving of those awful times through the eyes of memorable characters was quite the experience. The twists and turns in the superb telling kept me engaged and often brought me to tears. I am looking forward to the next edition in this series. The attention to detail was amazing! Hearing the story now is chilling in light of the world’s situaton. I would rate this 10 stars if I could.
