The Sava Crossing: Unveiling the Untold Story Behind a Historic Journey
The Sava Crossing follows four lives held apart by the same war. A doctor making impossible choices inside a castle’s west wing. A teacher learning every corridor of its east wing. A boy growing up alone on the streets of an occupied capital. And a stranger from far away who finds himself bound to a family he has never met. Their paths converge in the autumn of 1944, and the family’s reckoning continues long after the last shot is fired.
Drawing on the documented history of Nazi medical experimentation, the Ustaše regime, and the child resistance fighters who carried messages and weapons through occupied Zagreb, Brian Stanley has written a novel about what people become when everything they were has been taken from them — and about the small, ordinary mercies that keep them human anyway. It is a book about fathers and sons, husbands and wives, the friends who become family, and the strangers who risk their lives for someone they will never see again.
