The Lost Wife

Alyson Richman

  • First published 2011
  • English
In Prague, 1938, a passionate love blossoms between Josef and Lenka. Their world, however, is on the precipice of war, and as the Nazi threat looms, Josef's affluent family flees to the United States. He leaves Lenka behind with a solemn vow to help her and her family escape, promising they will reunite. Their plans are tragically shattered when the Nazis invade Prague, leading to Lenka's deportation.

Decades later, in New York, 2000, a chance encounter between an elderly man and woman ignites a flicker of recognition. This narrative explores the enduring power of promises, the cruel hand of history that shapes individual lives, and the possibility of destiny offering a second chance at a love once lost.
