About this listen

For fans of The Nightingale and All the Light We Cannot See, a spellbinding story of impossible love set against the backdrop of the Nazi regime.

She must choose between loyalty to her country or a love that could be her destruction…

As the dutiful daughter of a high-ranking Nazi officer, Hetty Heinrich is keen to play her part in the glorious new Thousand Year Reich. But she never imagines that all she believes and knows about her world will come into stark conflict when she encounters Walter, a Jewish friend from the past, who stirs dangerous feelings in her. Confused and conflicted, Hetty doesn’t know whom she can trust and where she can turn to, especially when she discovers that someone has been watching her.

Realizing she is taking a huge risk—but unable to resist the intense attraction she has for Walter—she embarks on a secret love affair with him. Together, they dream about when the war will be over and plan for their future. But as the rising tide of anti-Semitism threatens to engulf them, Hetty and Walter will be forced to take extreme measures.

Will the steady march of dark forces destroy Hetty’s universe—or can love ultimately triumph…?

Propulsive, deeply affecting, and inspired by the author’s family history, Daughter of the Reich is a mesmerizing page-turner filled with vivid characters and a meticulously researched portrait of Nazi Germany. In this riveting story of passion, courage and morality, Louise Fein introduces a bold young woman determined to tread the treacherous path of survival and freedom, showing readers the strength in the power of love and reminding us that the past must never be forgotten.

The exposition in this piece is deep and well thought out. You understand why it’s necessary once you’re in, but at the beginning it was tricky to get into it. This is well researched piece of historical fiction that made me sob.

Loved the whole book. Kept me totally enthralled and couldn't put it down. First time for this author but definitely not the last.

This story really allows the reader to “see” and feel of the slow and sinister way what happened in Germany did. The main character is believable and not always likeable - which I really appreciated - you can’t help but root for these two star crossed lovers though. A creative way to show history and remind readers of the importance of human rights and freedom of speech.

Splendid historical fiction. Will read again.
