Barbara Stark-Nemon’s premier novel, Even in Darkness, is a compelling story of a German-Jewish woman whose formidable life takes her through the years of the Holocaust in Germany to the present. Based on the life of Stark-Nemon’s great-aunt, Kläre Kohler is an unforgettable character whose daily acts of kindness and caring breathe light and air into the most horrific of times as she touches and lifts those who surround her. Beautifully yet honestly written, well researched and carefully crafted, this is a book that lingers long in the mind.
