Germany, 1939. Drawn together as Germany's hope for a glorious future begins to collapse, two children find temporary refuge in an abandoned theatre amidst the rubble of Berlin. The days they spend there will shape the rest of their lives. Watching over them is the wish child, who sees what they see, feels what they feel, yet his is a voice that comes from deep inside the wreckage of a nation's dream. A No. 1 bestseller in New Zealand.
