À propos de cet audio

From the New York Times bestselling author of Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker, an enthralling historical saga that recreates the danger, romance, and sacrifice of an era and brings to life one courageous, passionate American—Mildred Fish Harnack—and her circle of women friends who waged a clandestine battle against Hitler in Nazi Berlin.

After Wisconsin graduate student Mildred Fish marries brilliant German economist Arvid Harnack, she accompanies him to his German homeland, where a promising future awaits. In the thriving intellectual culture of 1930s Berlin, the newlyweds create a rich new life filled with love, friendships, and rewarding work—but the rise of a malevolent new political faction inexorably changes their fate.

As Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party wield violence and lies to seize power, Mildred, Arvid, and their friends resolve to resist. Mildred gathers intelligence for her American contacts, including Martha Dodd, the vivacious and very modern daughter of the US ambassador. Her German friends, aspiring author Greta Kuckoff and literature student Sara Weiss, risk their lives to collect information from journalists, military officers, and officials within the highest levels of the Nazi regime.

For years, Mildred’s network stealthily fights to bring down the Third Reich from within. But when Nazi radio operatives detect an errant Russian signal, the Harnack resistance cell is exposed, with fatal consequences.

Inspired by actual events, Resistance Women is an enthralling, unforgettable story of ordinary people determined to resist the rise of evil, sacrificing their own lives and liberty to fight injustice and defend the oppressed.

This audiobook includes an episode of the Book Club Girl Podcast, featuring an interview with Jennifer Chiaverini about Resistance Women.

Hitler being in power for 12 of those.
This story is about the people who tried to let the world know what was really going on. It’s so crazy that it took such a long time for the rest of the world to assist.

Excellent Narration

Great audiobook and narration. Is a long listen but a very good one. Was sometimes difficult to remember which characters were which as each chapter focuses on a different character and different time frame.

Long but good

Although you know who wins the war. It wraps you around it’s finger. I felt sad being reminded what all those who were not Hitlers chosen went through. Proud of those who tried to help and angry for those who turned a blind eye. Again knowing it is fiction doesn’t change the fact that there were people who were real who fought these fights and helped give us the freedoms we enjoy today.
Thank you for a reminder to be grateful for those who went before.

Heart wrenching

Loved the real life characters and I enjoyed learning how they felt and what they did before the war. It helped me understand how the rise of Hitler happened slowly and each character had a different perspective.
I totally recommend this book !

Wonderful
