From the Viennese cafés of the 1930s to the beaches of the Caribbean, discover a wonderful story of love and exile, and the unusual destiny of Almah and Wilhelm.

Vienna, 1932. Wilhelm meets Almah but the rise of antisemitism has shattered their idyll. After a few years, they no longer have a choice and are condemned to exile. And so begins a long period of instability until they receive an unexpected proposition: found a colony in the Dominican Republic where the local dictator has offered 100 000 visas to Jewish refugees from Europe. There, in the middle of the steaming hot jungle, they have to build everything from scratch: their home, their life. Based on true events, this saga reveals a little known part of history.
The first of a 4-volume saga.
An abbreviated 500-page version is available to international publishers.
