We That Are Left e-bog

It is 1910 and to ten-year-old Oskar Grunewald, the Melville family is impossibly, incomprehensibly glamorous. Born into privilege, their certainties are as unshakeable as the walls of their Victorian castle. It is a world to which Oskar, mathematics prodigy and son of a penniless German composer, has no wish to belong. But when Theo Melville is killed in the Great War, shattering his family s lives, Oskar finds himself drawn reluctantly into the gaping hole his death has left behind. As Theo s two sisters struggle to forge their paths in a world that no longer plays by the old rules, Oskar s life becomes entwined with theirs in a way that will change all of their futures.
