From the Hollow of a Sling

Vienna, 1919. Amid the chaos of defeat, Karl Popper embraces socialist revolution while his sister, Hanya, joins a dance troupe and falls for Popper's friend Max.

As romance founders Hanya loses herself in Berlin's wild night life and Max falls under the spell of esoteric Kabbalah, until rising antisemitism drives them from their homeland. Popper works tirelessly to settle Jewish refugees in New Zealand. But not everyone can be saved. An immersive love story demonstrating why ideas matter, why history is urgent.
