In 1940, Norway was ripped apart by the enormous and brutal invasion of Nazi Germany. The peace-loving Norwegian citizens were unprepared mentally and militarily for the relentless assault, which devastated their country and their souls. Hope for the future sustained author Sigrid Undset and mobilized her and many other Norwegian citizens to actively participate in the underground resistance movement. "Return to the Future" details Undset's perilous flight from Norway to Sweden, across Russia to Japan, and finally to the United States. Her story of pain and courage depicts the sights, sounds and human frailties of life, her passion for freedom and her vision for an unknown future. Paperback, large print.
