An international best seller and winner of the German Book Prize, The Blindness of the Heart is a dark marvel of a novel by one of Europe's freshest young voices--a family story spanning two world wars and several generations in a German family. In the devastating opening scene, a woman named Helene stands with her seven-year-old son in a provincial German railway station in 1945, amid the chaos of civilians fleeing west. Having survived with him through the horror and deprivation of the war years, she abandons him on the station platform and never returns. The story quickly circles back to rural Germany and Helene's childhood, which came to an abrupt end with the outbreak of the First World War. Her father is sent to the eastern front, and her Jewish mother withdraws from the hostility of her surroundings into a state of mental confusion. As we follow Helene into adulthood, we watch riveted as the costs of survival and ill-fated love turn her into a woman capable of the unforgiveable.Binding Type: Paperback

Generous storage & accessibility
Color: Black
This purse is very soft and plain with no embellishments. It is not shiny. It is just what I wanted because it did not detract from my gown. It is very practical and convenient because the clutch opens fully at the top so that everything stored inside can be easily seen rather than having to reach in the top and feel around inside a small clutch. It worked perfectly for me and could be useful even in non-formal situations. The magnetic closure is adequate. Storage is generous.

Great bag
Color: Silver
Perfect silver bag for weddings. The material is very soft and not cheap or fake looking.
The clutch fits more items than most evening bags. I can fit glasses, large phone, lipsticks , tissues.
Opens and closes well. The only small issue I have with it is although I like having the chain shoulder strap for hands-free the strap is a little too thick and heavy, and it kinks a little bit. A smaller thinner more delicate chain would be better, but otherwise, a very nice bag. I highly recommend
