À propos de cet audio

A door slammed and the unmistakable sound of boots came crashing up the hall. Liese held her little daughter’s hand so tightly, the tiny fingers had turned purple. The SS officer’s hand was at Liese’s throat before she saw him move. "I can kill you easily, then I can kill your daughter." He relaxed his grip a little. "Or perhaps I could kill her first?"

England, 40 years later. When Karen Cartwright is unexpectedly called home to nurse her ailing father, she goes with a heavy heart. The house she grew up in feels haunted by the memory of her father’s closely guarded secrets about her beautiful mother Elizabeth’s tragic death years before.

As she packs up the house, Karen discovers an old photograph and a stranger’s tattered love letter to her mother postmarked from Germany after the war.

During her life, Karen struggled to understand her shy, fearful mother, but now she is realizing there was so much more to Elizabeth than she knew. For one thing, her name wasn’t even Elizabeth, and her harrowing story begins long before Karen was born.

It’s 1941 in Berlin, and a young woman called Liese is being forced to wear a yellow star...

A beautiful and gripping wartime story about family secrets and impossible choices in the face of terrible hardship. Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, We Were the Lucky Ones, and The Alice Network.

I could not put this book down! It kept me riveted from beginning to end! The only problem I had with it, is that it ended at all. Beautifully written, beautifully read. I will definitely be looking for her next book.

OUTSTANDING!

Loved the book full of twists and a solid conclusion. It taught me things I didn't know and provided lots of good fiction writing too.

Could stop

This novel, as all others set in this timeframe and setting, has moments that are heavy and overwhelming. I did very early on grow to care about the main characters and would certainly recommend this novel and would also read it again.

Well worth the read

What an incredible book. Absolutely heart wrenching. Being a mother myself I bawled many times along with the characters in the book. You won't be disappointed.

Gripping

Another heart breaking story of WW 2 .

Another heart breaking story about love , lost and trying to survive the unthinkable. Almost all stories where about Auschwitz (not sure what words to use,) to hear about another camp.

I really liked the mystery of Karen trying to find out why her mother killed herself. It will make you cry as you switch between the past and the present.

Happy Listening

Sobering

It was a good story line that could have been shortened drastically without loosing anything. Narration was good.
