"Stones from the River" by Ursula Hegi Length: 5 hours and 16 min. ISBN: 0-671-57705-0 Oprah Book Club Listen to an excerpt with: Windows Media Player Real Player |
Trudi Montag is a Zwerg - a dwarf - short, undesirable, different, the voice of anyone who has ever tried to fit in. Eventually she learns that being different is a secret that all humans share, from her mother who flees into madness, to her friend Georg whose parents pretend he’s a girl, to the Jews Trudi harbors in her cellar.
Ursula Hegi, the award-winning author of Floating in My Mother’s Palm, brings us a timely and unforgettable story that weaves together a profound tapestry of emotional power, humanity, and truth.
