Summary

Tan lejos y tan cerca como el azar que, a pesar de mandarlos por caminos diversos, los había llevado al mismo lugar, al mismo tiempo.

Desde una patria a punto de esfumarse, dos familias de distintas regiones de Prusia, los Schipper y los Hahlbrock, huyen, junto con su pueblo, en un éxodo suscitado por los horrores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Prusia existía separada de Alemania aunque no de su fervor nacionalista ni de las bombas que extinguen una vida y perdonan otra.

Las vidas de Arno Schipper e Ilse Hahlbrock, dos niños que sin siquiera conocerse ni saber lo que les deparará el destino en otras tierras, van junto a los suyos en un peregrinaje sin descanso. Buscan escapar de la destrucción, del hambre y de la muerte, pero es la esperanza de paz y del reencuentro, es el deseo de hallar un lugar donde echar nuevas raíces, lo que se les arraiga en el corazón.

Inspirada en hechos reales, Peregrinos es una novela conmovedora, humana, un extraordinario reflejo de los caminos imbricados, del destino ineludible. En el hilo de la mejor literatura contemporánea, la magnífica pluma de Sofía Segovia nos regala un punto de vista singular y emocionante de uno de los conflictos más estremecedores de la historia.

Por la autora de El murmullo de las abejas y Huracán.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Disappointing

Writing about the 2nd World War from the perspective of two families and particularly their young children offered interesting possibilities but at about 20 hours this was too long. Despite some well written episodes, Ilse and the geese and bonfire of the vanities to name just two, there was not enough to lift the reader's spirits amid the long sequence of miserable and disturbing events which continued even after the war ended. At times the narrative seemed as pointless and lost as the Hahlbrooks' "pilgrimage".
