Description
1940. In the aftermath of the fall of Paris, Hieronymous Falk, a rising cabaret star, is arrested in a cafe and never heard from again. He is twenty years old. A German citizen. And he is black.
Fifty years later, Sid - the only witness that day - is going back to Berlin, where he must face the truth about what happened to Hiero.
In Half Blood Blues, Esi Edugyan weaves the horror of betrayal, the burden of loyalty and the possibility that, if you don't tell your story, someone else might tell it for you. And they just might tell it wrong.
