From the National Book Award winning author of Dale Loves Sophie to Death, a gorgeously rendered story about a woman starting anew in the middle of her life
Klappentext zu „Being Polite to Hitler “
After teaching and raising her family for most of her life, Agnes Scofield realizes she is truly weary of her routine. But how, at 51, to establish a separate identity?
Her newfound freedom may not sit so well with the rest of the Scofields, who operate strictly within the confines of polite Midwestern values. They'd be polite to Hitler if need be. But underneath the façade, private triumphs and tragedies - including struggles with alcoholism and illicit affairs - simmer, and Agnes finds herself becoming even more entangled in the family web.
BEING POLITE TO HITLER is a richly wrought portrait of a woman coming into her own in the middle of her life and a family that experiences passions, joys, and grief against the backdrop of the post-WWII era.

Rezension zu „Being Polite to Hitler “
"A remarkable achievement, a vividly detailed and deeply textured mural of a century of American life.... Throughout the novel, Dew renders the political personal and the personal incandescent....She zooms into the hearts and minds of her characters with the kind of acuity that reminds us why we read."-- "Washington Post" "Rachel Basch "
