Books like After the train by Gloria Whelan
Peter Liebig has always looked forward to a relaxed summer in Rolfen: beach trips, soccer and the comforting routine of his father’s job. The town, though scarred by a bombed-out church, has settled into quiet normalcy after the war’s end a decade earlier. Peter’s life chips away at the smooth surface of his ordinary existence when he discovers a letter he was never meant to read. The revelation unearths buried secrets and challenges everything he remembers about his parents, the town’s history, and his own sense of belonging.
