Finell, Karin
Good-bye to the Mermaids: A Childhood Lost in Hitler's Berlin
Columbia, MO University of Missouri Press 2006 0826216900 / 9780826216908 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
Cloth, x, 352 pp., illus., maps, index; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Good-bye to the Mermaids conveys the horrors of war as seen through the innocent eyes of a child. It is the story of World War II as it affected three generations of middle-class German women: Karin, six years old when the war began, who was taken in by Hitler’s lies; her mother, Astrid, a rebellious artist who occasionally spoke out against the Nazis; and her grandmother Oma, a generous and strong-willed woman who, having spent her own childhood in America, brought a different perspective to the events of the time. It tells of a convoluted world where children were torn between fear and hope, between total incomprehension of events and the need to simply deal with reality. / Karin Finell left Berlin in 1952 and now lives in Santa Barbara, California." - Publisher.
