Hegi, Ursula

Stones from the river Ursula Hegi - 1st Scribner Paperback ed. - New York Simon & Schuster 1995. - 525 p. 20 cm. - Burgdorf Cycle Book 1 .

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 brings us a timeless and unforgettable story in Trudi and a small town, weaving together a profound tapestry of emotional power, humanity, and truth.
