{"product_id":"place-to-hide","title":"Place to Hide","description":"Eli’s Promise is a masterful work of historical fiction spanning three eras: Nazi-occupied Poland, the American Zone of post-war Germany, and Chicago at the height of the Vietnam War. Award-winning author Ronald H. Balson explores the human cost of war, the mixed blessings of survival, and the enduring strength of family bonds.\n\n1939: Eli Rosen lives with his wife Esther and their young son in the Polish town of Lublin, where his family owns a construction company. As a consequence of the Nazi occupation, Eli’s company is Aryanized, appropriated and transferred to Maximilian Poleski, an unprincipled profiteer who peddles favours to Lublin’s subjugated residents. An uneasy alliance is formed; Poleski will keep the Rosen family safe if Eli will manage the business. Will Poleski honour his promise or will their relationship end in betrayal and tragedy?\n\n1946: Eli resides with his son in a displaced persons camp in Allied-occupied Germany hoping for a visa to America. His wife has been missing since the war. One man is sneaking around the camps selling illegal visas; might he know what has happened to her?\n\n1965: Eli rents a room in Albany Park, Chicago. He is on a mission. With patience, cunning, and relentless focus, he navigates unfamiliar streets and dangerous political backrooms, searching for the truth. Powerful and emotional, Ronald H. Balson's Eli’s Promise is a rich, rewarding novel of World War II and a husband’s quest for justice.","brand":"St Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55427039986008,"sku":"9781250397157","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781250397157_3df1a890-1326-448c-b2cc-325a55429bd2.jpg?v=1771060542","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/place-to-hide","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
