Berlin 1919, a civil war is raging between communists and nationalists.
In the midst of this turmoil and violence a newborn baby is abandoned on the
doorsteps of a convent. This is the story of that foundling, and of her quest to find
an identity, a search which takes the child, the girl and the woman through
a Germany of upheaval, fascism and war. It is a world in which belonging to
the 'right' racial group can become a matter of life and death. In a life full
of danger and adventure, Margareta moves in National Socialist and
Communist circles, ever alive to the swirling currents of events in
The Third Reich and yet swept along in spite of herself through marriage,
lovers and friendships to imprisonment by the Gestapo.
