| Annotation |
"Just after World War II, in a devastated Berlin with no apparent future, Victoria survives by singing every night at the Kassandra club. Despite having a prodigious mind, capable of creating a powerful message encryption system, her daughter Hedy and her sister Rebecca depend on that meager salary to survive. An unscrupulous blackmail by the Russians will force Victoria to travel alone to the United States, where, however, she will enjoy the unconditional love of Captain Norton. There she will discover that what seemed the most democratic society in the world hides a rancid layer of racism and injustice at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan and Senator McCarthy."-- Translation provided by NLS. -- Unrated. Commercial audiobook. Planeta Prize. Spanish language.

Allí descubrirá que la que parecía la sociedad más democrática del mundo esconde una rancia capa de racismo e injusticias de la mano del Ku Klux Klan y el senador McCarthy."-- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Sin calificación.
