Berlin, 2005 Martha is now seventy years old and she sees a woman on TV whom she recognizes. It turns out to be the kind German nurse, Margarete Weiss. Will she be reunited with her sister and family? What happened to them?
An emotional novel. We all know what happened during those horrific years. This is 2nd in a series, and I will be looking for the 1st one. This novel transport you into those times and my heart was breaking and hoping against all odds she would see her family members again.
Thank you Bookouture for this heartwarming novel
Omg what an emotional rollercoaster of a read! Such bravery, heartbreak and tears. I loved the first
Book and was desperate to read this one. The fact that these things happened during the war is just absolutely heartbreaking. The courage that people had is just amazing. This book is definitely a hard hitting book with lots of tears but some in a good way!
This story was heartbreaking. If I picture ww2 this is exactly how I believe it was. It’s full of fear and anxiety, love, hate, tears and dreams. Beautifully written it very quickly sucked me in and I couldn’t stop reading until I had finished. This book will put you through an emotional wringer but it’s so worth the read. I highly recommend this book, it was excellent.
This book is fiction but I’m sure it reflects the stories of families and their heartbreak thru the actions of the Nazis. Bring the tissues, this isn’t an easy book to read. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.
