The fourth novel in Ursula Hegiโs acclaimed Burgdorf cycle is โa thoughtful, sidelong approach to the worst moment in Germanyโs history that invites us to understand how decent people come to collaborate with evilโ (Kirkus Reviews).
Children and Fire tells the story of one day that will forever transform the lives of the people in Burgdorf, Germany, the fictitious village by the river in Ursula Hegiโs bestselling novels. February 27, 1934โthe first anniversary of the burning of Reichstag, the Parliament building in Berlin.
Thekla Jansen, a gifted young teacher, loves her students and tries to protect them from the chaos beyond their village. Believing the Nazisโ new regime will not last forever, Thekla begins to relinquish some of her freedoms to keep her teaching position. She has always taken her moral courage for granted, but when each compromise chips away at that courage, she knows she must reclaim it.
Ursula Hegi funnels pivotal moments in history through the experience of Thekla, her students, and the townspeople as she writes along the edge where sorrow and bliss meet, and shows us how one societyโeducated, cultural, compassionateโcan slip into a reality thatโs fabricated by propaganda and controlled by fear.
Gorgeously rendered and emotionally taut, Children and Fire confirms Ursula Hegiโs position as one of the most distinguished writers of her generation.
