The Seventh Cross is $16.99 at Kobo NZ, $5NZ cheaper than the $13.99US Amazon is asking. But I'd happily trade that for escaping Emma!

On a tangential note, while checking Overdrive to see if my local libraries had The Seventh Cross (they don't), Overdrive suggested some other Anna Seghers works for me to ask my library to purchase. The title of one of them really grabbed me: Der Ausflug der Toten Mädchen. The book itself would be well beyond my German now, but this was a great example of the value and importance of a strong title. I'm very curious about the book now, just on the strength of that intriguing title.
