NEW YORK, Sept 28 — Acclaimed writer Thomas Harding is back with his latest offering “The House By The Lake”.

Harding’s new book reveals the story of Germany seen through the eyes of the inhabitants of a small wooden building: A nobleman farmer, a prosperous Jewish family, a renowned Nazi composer, a widow and her children, a Stasi informant.   

This is a story of domestic joy and contentment, of terrible grief and tragedy, and of a hatred handed down through the generations as it moves from the late nineteenth century to the present day, from the devastation of two world wars to the dividing and reuniting of a nation.

Harding is the bestselling author of “Hanns and Rudolf” and is also a former documentary filmmaker and journalist who has written for the Financial Times and The Guardian, among other publications.
