When The World Was Ours

 By: Liz Kessler

Location: FIC KES

Genre: Holocaust, Journeys, Inspired by a true story

"A vividly poignant story sure to leave an impact. The harrowing journeys of Leo, Elsa, and Max left me near tears and ripping through every page. Beautifully, beautifully written." Asia

A novel about three childhood friends living during the Second World War whose fates are closely intertwined, even when their lives take very different courses.

Three friends. Two sides. One memory.

Vienna. 1936.


Three young friends – Leo, Elsa and Max – spend a perfect day together, unaware that around them Europe is descending into a growing darkness, and that events soon mean that they will be cruelly ripped apart from each other. With their lives taking them across Europe – to Germany, England, Prague and Poland – will they ever find their way back to each other? Will they want to?

Inspired by a true story.
