Después de que la hayan robado a sus adinerados padres alemanes y la hayan criado en la implacable naturaleza de Europa del Este, una joven se encuentra sola en 1941 tras la muerte de su secuestradora. Sin embargo, su existencia solitaria se ve interrumpida cuando se cruza con un grupo de judíos huyendo del terror nazi. Ella se sorprende al descubrir lo que está sucediendo en el mundo exterior, por lo que se compromete a enseñar al grupo todo lo que sabe sobre la supervivencia en el bosque y, a cambio, ellos le enseñan algunas lecciones sorprendentes sobre cómo abrir su corazón después de años de aislamiento. Pero cuando la traicionan y ella escapa a un pueblo ocupado por alemanes, su pasado y su presente se unen en una colisión impactante que podría cambiarlo todo.
After being stolen from her wealthy German parents and raised in the unforgiving wilderness of eastern Europe, a young woman finds herself alone in 1941 after her kidnapper dies. Her solitary existence is interrupted, however, when she happens upon a group of Jews fleeing the Nazi terror. Stunned to learn what’s happening in the outside world, she vows to teach the group all she can about surviving in the forest—and in turn, they teach her some surprising lessons about opening her heart after years of isolation. But when she is betrayed and escapes into a German-occupied village, her past and present come together in a shocking collision that could change everything. Inspired by incredible true stories of survival against staggering odds, and suffused with the journey-from-the-wilderness elements that made Where the Crawdads Sing a worldwide phenomenon, The Forest of Vanishing Stars is a heart-wrenching and suspenseful novel from the #1 internationally bestselling author whose writing has been hailed as “sweeping and magnificent” (Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author), “immersive and evocative” (Publishers Weekly), and “gripping” (Tampa Bay Times).
