Because their real names will reveal their Jewishness, they are renamed \"Hansel\" and \"Gretel.\" They wander in the woods until they are taken in by Magda, an eccentric and stubborn old woman called a \"witch\" by the nearby villagers. Magda is determined to save them, even as a German officer arrives in the village with his own plans for the children. Louise Murphy's haunting novel of journey and survival, of redemption and memory, powerfully depicts how war is experienced by families and especially by children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louise Murphy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780142003077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 18-UP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/12\/2003 pg. 39\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2003 pg. 775\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2003 pg. 1744\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2003 pg. 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2003 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/10\/2003 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooksense '76 Sep\/Oct 2003\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2003 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2003 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouise Murphy\u003c\/b\u003e, winner of a Writers Digest Award for formal poetry, is the author of the novel \u003ci\u003eThe Sea Within\u003c\/i\u003e and a book for children, \u003ci\u003eMy Garden\u003c\/i\u003e.
