In the turbulent days of Germany in the 1930s, Kassandra von Gotthard met the man who would change her life, Dolff Sterne. She was the beautiful wife of a wealthy Berlin banker. He was a famous Jewish writer. Together they shared a love that happens only once in a lifetime, but theirs was a love fated to end in tragedy. The terrible day came when Dolff was wrenched from her arms by Nazi soldiers, leaving her heartbroken and humiliated. Kassandra decided that her life was no longer worth living. All that she leaves for her descendents is her memory of pain and a diamond signet ring, a ring that will carry the destiny of the von Gotthards to new lives and new loves. First published in 1980 and regarded as one of her finest books, now happily reprinted, this novel has also been made into a film. 409pp, paperback.
