The Burgdorf Cycle by Ursula Hegi (Boxed Set #01-4)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.4 MB
Overview: URSULA HEGI was born in 1946 in Düsseldorf, Germany, a city that was heavily bombed during World War II. Her perception growing up was that the war was avoided as a topic of discussion despite its evidence everywhere, and The Holocaust was a particularly taboo topic. This had a strong effect on her later writing and her feelings about her German identity. Hegi’s first books were set in the United States. She set her third, Floating in My Mother’s Palm, in the fictional German town of Burgdorf, using her writing to explore her conflicted feelings about her German heritage.
Hegi’s numerous awards include an NEA Fellowship and five PEN Syndicated Fiction Awards. She won a book award from the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association (PNBA) in 1991 for Floating in My Mother’s Palm. She has also had two New York Times Notable Book mentions.
