To enter, tell us in which part of London Hannah grew up.
Emil and Hannah live their lives amid the turmoil of 20th-century history. Emil, a German veteran of the Great War, has returned home to a disturbed nation, but his involvement with the resistance ultimately forces him from his family and his home. Hannah, immersed in the many languages of her upbringing as a Russian Jew in London’s West End and intent on experiencing the world, leaves home for Europe, travelling to a continent again headed towards total war. She meets the devastated Emil, who has just crossed the border on foot from Nazi Germany, leaving tragedy in his wake.
