New York; St. Martin's Press; 2020 339 pages; 23 cm. 1939: Eli Rosen lives with his wife Esther and their young son in the Polish town of Lublin, where his family owns a construction company. As a consequence of the Nazi occupation, Eli’s company is Aryanized, appropriated and transferred to Maximilian Poleski—an unprincipled profiteer who peddles favors to Lublin’s subjugated residents. An uneasy alliance is formed; Poleski will keep the Rosen family safe if Eli will manage the business. Will Poleski honor his promise or will their relationship end in betrayal and tragedy? 1946: Eli resides with his son in a displaced persons camp in Allied-occupied Germany hoping for a visa to America. His wife has been missing since the war. One man is sneaking around the camps selling illegal visas; might he know what has happened to her? 1965: Eli rents a room in Albany Park, Chicago. He is on a mission. With patience, cunning, and relentless focus, he navigates unfamiliar streets and dangerous political backrooms, searching for the truth. Powerful and emotional, Ronald H. Balson's Eli's Promise is a rich, rewarding novel of World War II and a husband’s quest for justice. ddc BOOK 174 Sanet Schoeman 174 Sanet Schoeman 767886 767885 0 0 ddc 0 0 F STANRL EMBAL FIC 2024-09-19 459.90 0 EF BALS 33228031152069 2024-09-19 2024-09-19 BOOK 0 0 ddc 0 0 F STANRL EVANL FIC 2024-09-19 459.90 0 EF BALS 33228031152070 2024-09-19 2024-09-19 BOOK 0 0 ddc 0 0 F THUBL THUBL FIC 2026-03-05 0 EF BALS 33228031033993 2026-03-05 2026-03-05 BOOK
