À propos de cet audio
Germany, 1939. A tumbledown farmhouse, on the outskirts of a close-knit village in the heart of the rolling hills of Bavaria. A once happy family home torn apart by Nazi rule. And one young girl who refuses to give up on what she believes in....
London, 2018: When 94-year-old Imogen receives a letter addressed to her in neat, unfamiliar handwriting, she notices the postmark is stamped from Germany - and it sends shivers down her spine....
Germany, 1939: Thirteen-year-old Magda is devastated by the loss of her best friend, shy and gentle Lotte, cruelly snatched from her and sent to a concentration camp – the Star of David sewn on her faded, brown coat. As the Nazi’s power takes hold, Magda realises she’s not like the other girls in her German village - she hates the fanatical new rules of the Hitler Youth. So Magda secretly joins The White Rose Movement and begins to rebel against the oppressive, frightening world around her.
But when an English bomber pilot crashes in a field near Magda’s home she is faced with an impossible choice: to risk the safety of her family or to save a stranger and make a difference in the devastating war that has claimed the lives of so many. Little does she know, her actions will have the power to change the life of another girl, on the other side of enemy lines, forever....
Inspired by a true story, this is a heart-wrenching, gripping and absolutely unforgettable tale of the strength of human kindness in a time of unimaginable heartbreak. Fans of Orphan Train, The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Book Thief will be utterly gripped by this beautiful, sweeping, World War Two novel.

Everyone has secrets, and Rachel Holloway is no exception. She’s worked hard to keep the past where it belongs: dead and buried. And so far, she’s been very successful. But now the small newspaper where she works wants to produce a podcast on a cold case: the disappearance 12 years ago of young Molly Forster. Some secrets should never see the light of day, and, as far as Rachel is concerned, whatever happened to little Molly is one of them.

As the war begins, Hanna Rombauer, a young German woman, is sent to live with her aunt and uncle after her mother’s death. Thrown into a life of luxury she never expected, Hanna soon finds herself unwillingly matched with an SS officer twenty years her senior. The independence that her mother lovingly fostered in her is considered highly inappropriate as the future wife of an up-and-coming officer and she is sent to a “bride school.” There, in a posh villa on the outskirts of town, Hanna is taught how to be a “proper” German wife.

Intriguing Read
I highly recommend this book to any who enjoy WWII, stories. I thoroughly enjoyed all the characters, the narrators who brought them to life. I loved how the characters were connected without knowing the connection and how that was brought full circle towards the end of the book.
I also love that parts of the stories were based on true recollections from the authors families.
Again I highly recommend this read.

Wonderful story!!
Fantastic book. Beautifully told It was a privilege to be able to listen to this. It is peopled with real characters. I felt as if I knew them personally right from the.beginning. There are many books written about that period of our history. Many of them very good. These give a lot of details of the tragedies of that time. This book, somehow is a gentler story, told with, I think, tenderness for the people involved. I loved it.

The connection between 2 families as the maneuver thru WWII
A wonderful story based on some real life and some conglomerations of real people. It is not lost on me that these two families faced terrible hardships but vowed to always be respectful and show integrity. A great lesson for all time but especially 2020-21.
I know it’s a good book when I talk about the story line with others and encourage them to read the book. Enjoy!

Best Book I've Read In A Long Time
It was a good reminder that there were good people in Germany during the war. And it showcased how differently the young people grew up during this time, compared to how their children (my generation) did. It was beautifully written, wonderfully narrated and it kept me coming back.

A historical book worth the listen.
Loved the story. I especially enjoyed hearing both sides. Life in Germany and in Britain during the war. The narrator was easy to understand and reflected the feelings of both women.

Amazing
I wasn't actually sure how I'd feel about this book but it's so well written and its it's amazing to think most of this actually happened. it's more about humanity than the war.

Learn a little from a tale
A tale is written from the stories and letters of a time gone by. I found it interesting to see how people lived and survived. Written from the perspective of the youth of a time of chaos and war. A light-hearted story not meant to bring the reader to tears.
