` More than 70 years ago I was a ”gift” for Adolf Hitler. I was stolen as a baby to be part of one of the most terrible of all Nazi experiments: Lebensborn.` The Lebensborn programme was the brainchild of Himmler: an extraordinary plan to create an Aryan master race, leaving behind thousands of displaced victims in the wake of the Nazi regime. In 1942 Erika, a baby girl from Sauerbrunn in Yugoslavia, was taken for a `medical` examination by the Nazi occupiers. Declared an ` Aryan`, she was removed from her mother & held in a children`s home; her true identity erased, she became Ingrid von Oelhafen. Later, as Ingrid began to uncover her true identity, the full scale of the Lebensborn scheme & the Nazi obsession with bloodlines became clear
- including the kidnapping of up to half a million babies like her, & the deliberate murder of children born into the programme who were deemed `substandard`. Written with insight & compassion, this is a powerful meditation on the personal legacy of Hitler`s vision, of Germany`s brutal past & of a divided Europe that for many years struggled to come to terms with its own history.

A madcap new novel from the one-of-a-kind author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window & The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden IT`S NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN. & AGAIN. It`s always awkward when five thousand kronor goes missing. When it happens at a certain grotty hotel in south Stockholm, it`s particularly awkward because the money belongs to the hitman currently staying in room seven. Per Persson, the hotel receptionist, just wants to mind his own business, & preferably not get murdered. Johanna Kjellander, temporarily resident in room eight, is a priest without a vocation, &, as of last week, without a parish. But right now she has two things at her disposal: an envelope containing five thousand kronor, & an excellent idea.. . Featuring one violent killer, two shrewd business brains & many crates of Moldovan red wine, Hitman Anders & the Meaning of It All is an outrageously zany story with as many laughs as Jonasson`s multimillion-copy bestseller The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window & Disappeared. ...
