"summary",
"Sally Carson's novel 'Crooked Cross' is being hailed as an 'electrifying masterpiece' for its accurate prediction of the Nazi threat. Written in 1934, the novel tells the story of a German family struggling with the rise of the Nazi party and its impact on their lives. The novel was initially praised for its portrayal of the Nazi threat, but was later censored due to its perceived anti-German propaganda. The novel is being republished by Persephone Books to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II."

Controversial in its day, her novel had to walk a careful path to avoid the accusation that it was alarmist about the Fuhrer’s aims. A stage adaptation of her story was even censored, shorn of all its “Heil Hitlers”.
