Description
|
|
|
|
The girl who would become Winifred Wagner was raised in an English orphanage and married, at 18, to the gay son of composer Richard Wagner. As heiress to the country's most august cultural legacy, she matures in the Wagner family compound, surrounded by philosophers and composers. In 1923, the Wagners met the man who would be their hero and hope for the future: a wild-eyed Viennese opera fanatic named Adolf Hitler, whom Winnie nicknamed Wolf. A.N. Wilson's novel vividly portrays the world of the Weimar Republic as the backdrop to their strange and powerful kinship.
