A prophetic 1934 novel has found a surprising second life – it holds lessons for us all | Charlotte Higgins Sally Carson’s Crooked Cross was written and set during the rise of nazism. It shows both how extremism takes hold, and the moral certainty needed to resist it, says the Guardian’s chief culture write...

“Carson shows us how extremism, when it takes hold, provides these young men with purpose…It also provides them with a set of people – leftwingers and Jews – to hate, to blame, to punish and, quite quickly, to beat and to kill.” #SallyCarson #CrookedCross

My vlog review of CROOKED CROSS (1934) by Sally Carson, a prescient look at the rise of Nazism as seen through the disentegration of a Bavarian over six months in 1933. A forgotten, but powerful novel.

Sally Carson – Crooked Cross (1934). Book club read. In a German town in 1932–1933, a family and a community are ripped apart by the rise of the Nazi party. The novel starts slowly but steadily builds in power, and the doomed young couple – Lexa and Moritz – are memorably evoked. #SallyCarson

The lost 1934 novel that gave a chilling warning about the horrors of Nazi Germany Published years before WW2, Sally Carson's prescient novel captures the dawn of Nazi tyranny in a small German town – and remains relevant today.

« The novel, which concerned itself only with the domestic realm, still shows with chilling force how a civilised nation could be captured by authoritarianism. » www.bbc.com/culture/arti...

Crooked Cross At its heart a love story, CROOKED CROSS is also an extraordinarily prescient account of the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany seen through the eyes of the fictional Kluger family.

What an extraordinary book! Written in 1934, shows how Nazi policies crept softly in with devastating consequences. Poignant description of the 20th century, stark warning for the 21st 😢
