You do not walk through them and remain wholly in the present.\u003cp\u003eIn 1966, as the war in Vietnam escalates, twelve-year-old Holzli Lloyd's family moves to Switzerland where his father is a cultural attaché with the American consulate, a job that seems to have hidden dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTransferred from a village public school to an international school in Zürich, the boy meets Mark, who claims to have visions of the sixteenth century, the time of the Swiss Reformation. Mark tells of meetings with a girl named Regula, whose Anabaptist family is being persecuted by the authorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHolzli is intrigued with the Anabaptists' refusal to resist evil and becomes obsessed with finding out whether the stories are true. When the visions take a dangerous turn, though, he is led to intervene-and sees the cost of intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough Regula deals with political and religious themes, it is more concerned with exploring the limitations of interpretation and judgment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Groton Jemez Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47707253670128,"sku":"9780999070901","price":8.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780999070901_p0.jpg?v=1763899031","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780999070901","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
