Armando Lucas Correa

Armando Lucas Correa is an award-winning journalist, editor, and author. He is the author of the international bestseller The German Girl, which is now being published in thirteen languages. Based on true events, Correa’s The Daughter’s Tale (Atria Books) chronicles one of the most harrowing atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis during the war and a family’s saga of love, survival, and redemption. The dreams that Amanda Sternberg and her husband, Julius, had for their daughters are shattered when the Nazis descend on Berlin in 1939, burning down their beloved family bookshop and sending Julius to a concentration camp. Desperate to save her children, Amanda flees toward the south of France where is forced to make an impossible choice that will haunt her for the rest of her life. After Nazi forces arrive, Amanda finds herself in a labor camp where she must once again make a heroic sacrifice. The story then shifts to New York 2015, and eighty-year-old Elise Duval, a French Catholic who arrived in New York after World War II, receives news from a time and country that she forced herself to forget. The letters are from her mother, written in German during the war —and seven decades of secrets begin to unravel. BookPage called The Daughter’s Tale “A detailed, immersive chronicle of World War II’s tragedy, the power of love and the lengths to which a mother will go to save her children when there are no choices left. […]Correa starkly portrays the many horrors that were visited on an innocent citizenry.”
