Author Martin Fletcher : Jacob's Oath (Return Engagement)
Jacob’s Oath is set in 1945 Germany. It is a story of love and revenge. World War II has just ended; and the
Holocaust survivors begin their long walk home.
Among them are Jacob and Sarah.
They meet in Heidelberg, their home town and fall in love. But Jacob has sworn to take revenge on the
concentration camp guard who beat his brother to death. He made this promise as his younger brother
died in his arm. The guard nicknamed
“The Rat” is also from Heidelberg. As
Jacob waits for him to return home after the war he is torn. He must choose. Does he seek revenge for the past or live for
the future? Does he choose love or
hate?
