"The camp at Auschwitz took one year of my life, and of my own free will I gave it another four.",So begins The Thief of Auschwitz, the much-anticipated new novel from Jon Clinch, award-winning author of Finn and Kings of the Earth.,In The Thief of Auschwitz, Clinch steps for the first time beyond the deeply American roots of his earlier books to explore one of the darkest moments in mankindâ€™s historyâ€”and to do so with the sympathy, vision, and heart that are the hallmarks of his work.,Told in two intertwining narratives, The Thief of Auschwitz takes readers on a dual journey: one into the death camp at Auschwitz with Jacob, Eidel, Max, and Lydia Rosen; the other into the heart of Max himself, now an aged but extremely vitalâ€”and outspokenâ€”survivor. Max is a renowned painter, and heâ€™s about to be honored with a retrospective at the National Gallery in Washington. The truth, though, is that heâ€™s been keeping a crucial secret from the art worldâ€”indeed from the world at large, and perhaps even from himselfâ€”all his life long.,The Thief of Auschwitz reveals that secret, along with others that lie in the heart of a family thatâ€™s called upon to endureâ€”together and separatelyâ€”the unendurable.
