Futuristic quest for truth defies oppressive regime.

If you're into novels that blend distinctive sci-fi elements with a struggle against an authoritarian backdrop, "Deviation" might just hit the spot. D'Eramo crafts a narrative that’s not just about the external fight against an oppressive system, but also delves into the personal journey of self-discovery and resistance. It’s likely to resonate with fans of dystopian fiction looking for a story with depth and the courage to question the status quo.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Lucie was brought up by bourgeois parents as a passionate young fascist. At the age of eighteen, she decides to volunteer in the Nazi labour camps in Germany. Wishing to disprove what she sees as the lies that are being told about Nazi-Fascism, she instead encounters the horrors of life there - and is changed completely. Shedding her identity, she joins a group of deportees being sent to Dachau concentration camp. She escapes the camp in October 1944, and wanders around a Germany devastated by allied bombardments. Then, in February 1945, while helping dig in rubble seeking to rescue survivors, a wall falls on her and she is left paralysed from the waist down. Translated into English for the first time, Deviation is an autobiographical novel about the repression of memory, and one woman's attempt to make sense of the hell she has lived through.
