Keeping Hannah waiting : a novel / Dave Clarke

The reader is transported back to pre-World War II Europe, when young Marc Chagall, an aspiring Russian painter from a large Jewish family, met and fell in love with eighteen-year-old Hannah Kessler, daughter of a Jewish insurance mogul. A Chagall painting "Girl with Flowers," a Sotheby's auction, a trip to Dachau, and the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society compels Kate McBride to find the girl in the painting in order to return what belongs to her. In so doing Kate discovers the timeless romance that inspired the painting. The story is driven by Kate's strong ethics, her determination to do the right thing and her natural empathy for those in need.
