Synopsis

In Hilda’s Secrets, Albin and Hilda begin their new life in Chicago. As they are starting and raising their family, Hilda believes she must keep some secrets in order to preserve her marriage and the life she has dreamed of with Albin. Their story follows three generations of the family through the Roaring Twenties, The Great Depression, and two World Wars. They experience the same challenges, joys, struggles and successes encountered by the other immigrant families in the sometimes booming, sometimes depressed, but always interesting city of Chicago during the first half of the 20th century. Revealed with humor, pathos, and deep personal emotion, the human drama of the family’s lives and relationships, and those of their many friends, unfolds during times of great social, political, and technological change. Tragic events and human weakness could combine to keep them together — or tear them apart. Will the love affair between Albin and Hilda, rooted in their traditional mother-country values, let them live happily ever after? This is Rosie Atkinson’s second book following her debut novella, Albin’s Letters.
