From the acclaimed author of Floating in My Motherâs Palm and Children and Fire, a stunning story about ordinary people living in extraordinary timesââepic, daring, magnificent, the product of a defining and mesmerizing visionâ (Los Angeles Times). Trudi Montag is a Zwergâa dwarfâshort, undesirable, different, the voice of anyone who has ever tried to fit in. Eventually she learns that being different is a secret that all humans shareâfrom her mother who flees into madness, to her friend Georg whose parents pretend heâs a girl, to the Jews Trudi harbors in her cellar. Ursula Hegi brings us a timeless and unforgettable story in Trudi and a small town, weaving together a profound tapestry of emotional power, humanity, and truth.
