Über diesen Titel

 In the vein of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Number the Stars, this fusion of fairy tales, folklore, and World War II history eloquently illustrates the power of love and the inherent will to survive even in the darkest of times.

In the land of dolls, there is magic.
In the land of humans, there is war.
Everywhere there is pain.
But together there is hope.

Karolina is a living doll whose king and queen have been overthrown. But when a strange wind spirits her away from the Land of the Dolls, she finds herself in Kraków, Poland, in the company of the Dollmaker, a man with an unusual power and a marked past.

The Dollmaker has learned to keep to himself, but Karolina’s courageous and compassionate manner lead him to smile and to even befriend a violin-playing father and his daughter—that is, once the Dollmaker gets over the shock of realizing a doll is speaking to him.

But their newfound happiness is dashed when Nazi soldiers descend upon Poland. Karolina and the Dollmaker quickly realize that their Jewish friends are in grave danger, and they are determined to help save them, no matter what the risks.

Wonderful story about a very sad topic. The book is narrated by two people, Robert Fass narrates the chapters of the Dollland and Abby Craden narrates the chapters of the 'real' world. Both narrators are great, they use different voices for each character so it is obvious who is talking. There are more chapters read by Craden.
The first half is interesting and beautiful (growing friendship between characters and a little magic) but later it gets really sad as the story is about the German occupation of Krakow and their cruel treatment of the jews. Therefore there are many characters (mainly side characters) I hated.
It is a sensitive topic and I'm no historian but I really liked this story. It was my first book about dolls & this topic and I didn't know what to expect bc it is an unusual Genre but I'm glad I listened to this book. I recommend it.

wonderful story
