纽约时报畅销书的灵感源于一个令人难以置信的真实故事，即一个犹太人家庭在第二次世界大战开始时分居，决心生存并重新团聚，我们是幸运者，这是对希望和爱的胜利的颂扬。“面对全球逆境的爱情？现在再合适不过了。”—魅力

1939年春天，即使战争的阴影越来越近，库尔克（Kurc）家族的三代人也尽其所能地过着正常的生活。关于塞德家族餐桌的话题是关于新生婴儿和萌芽的恋情，而不是犹太人在他们的家乡波兰拉多姆的艰难困苦。但是很快，超越欧洲的恐惧将不可避免，库尔德人将被抛到世界的各个角落，每个人拼命地试图走自己的安全之路。

当一个同胞被迫流亡时，另一同胞试图逃离非洲大陆，而其他同胞则试图逃脱某些死亡，要么是在贫民窟的工厂里空着肚子辛苦地工作几个小时，要么是躲藏在外地，成为外邦人。在坚定不移的生存意志的驱使下，由于担心他们可能再也见不到彼此，库尔德人必须依靠希望，独创性和内在力量来坚持不懈。

这本非凡的，令人着迷的小说《我们是幸运者》展示了在二十世纪zui黑暗的时刻，人类的精神如何能够忍受甚至兴旺。

It is the spring of 1939 and three generations of the Kurc family are doing their best to live normal lives, even as the shadow of war grows closer. The talk around the family Seder table is of new babies and budding romance, not of the increasing hardships threatening Jews in their hometown of Radom, Poland. But soon the horrors overtaking Europe will become inescapable and the Kurcs will be flung to the far corners of the world, each desperately trying to navigate his or her own path to safety.

As one sibling is forced into exile, another attempts to flee the continent, while others struggle to escape certain death, either by working grueling hours on empty stomachs in the factories of the ghetto or by hiding as gentiles in plain sight. Driven by an unwavering will to survive and by the fear that they may never see one another again, the Kurcs must rely on hope, ingenuity, and inner strength to persevere.

An extraordinary, propulsive novel, We Were the Lucky Ones demonstrates how in the face of the twentieth century’s darkest moment, the human spirit can endure and even thrive.
