A Night in Odessa
by Ursula H. Meier
A Novel of Forbidden Love and Political Intrigue
A Night in Odessa tells the riveting story of Erika, a young German woman, and Michael, a Russian cardiologist, and their prohibited love in former East Germany. The author's experiences in Europe and her research at the Hoover Institution, place her in a unique position to write about the political atmosphere in East Germany after WWII and the drama of crossing the Iron Curtain.
What would be a light-hearted love story under democracy turns into a dangerous and chilling tale under communism. We meet the evil Chief of Police and Frieda, his police matron, and learn of Erika’s secret past. The young lovers’ quest for freedom takes them across the Iron Curtain, toiling through snow-covered mountains, slipping between mines, hiding from guards.
California, Odessa, and Dubrovnik are colorful stopovers in this fascinating, fast-paced novel. Award winning author, Ursula H. Meier, weaves a tale full of plot twists that surprise, enthrall, and delight.
