The Other Me
Written by Saskia Sarginson, edited by Amy Einhorn - Fiction, History, Psychology

THE OTHER ME spans from 1930s Germany to 1990s England as Saskia Sarginson explores whether our identities are tied to where we came from, and if it's possible that sometimes history doesn't get the story right. In 1986 London, Klaudia is about to start high school. She's embarrassed by her German father, never knowing what he may or may not have done during the war. In 1995 Leeds, Eliza is a young woman in love --- with her life as a dance student, and with her boyfriend Cosmo. And woven throughout the novel is Ernst's story --- Ernst is one of two brothers growing up in Nazi Germany.
