The New York City launching
of La hija olvidada /
The Daughter’s Tale,
an unforgettable story of love
and redemption by
Armando Lucas Correa,
the bestselling author of
The German Girl /
La niña alemana.
The novel is riveting from the outset. Elise Duval, eighty years old, receives a phone call from
a woman recently arrived from Cuba bearing messages from a time and country that she’s long forgotten, unravelling more than seven decades of secrets.
Inspired by one of the most shocking Nazi atrocities during World War II, the 1944 massacre of all the inhabitants of the
village of Oradour-Sur-Glane
in southern France,
The Daughter’s Tale is a beautifully crafted family saga
of survival and hope against
all odds.
Correa, who is Editor-in-Chief of People En Español, will be interviewed by the widely read Cuban-American journalist Joaquín Bajadoz. The presentation will be complemented by an illustrated overview of the historical events that inspired the novel.
This bilingual literary event is part of the CreateNYC Language Access program, and it will be held in Spanish, followed by a bilingual Q&A.
