In the spring of 1941, nineteen-year-old Magda Arber is called to do her duty for the Führer and travel from her hometown of Lübeck to East Prussia to work as a village schoolteacher. There, she’ll remodel her tender young charges into ‘manly warriors’ and ‘resourceful mother[s]’. Magda is delighted at the chance to immerse herself in ‘brain work’ rather than physical labour and also to visit that ‘unseen and poetic land’, a place full of natural beauty and wild animals.
