About this listen

From the best-selling author of The Girl from Munich and Suitcase of Dreams comes an unforgettable tale of love, courage, and betrayal inspired by a true story

Berlin, 1943

As the Allied forces edge closer, the Third Reich tightens its grip on its people. For 18-year-old Susanna Göttmann, this means her adopted family including the man she loves, Leo, are at risk.

Desperate to protect her loved ones any way she can, Susie accepts the help of an influential Nazi officer. But it comes at a terrible cost - she must abandon any hope of a future with Leo and enter the frightening world of the Nazi elite.

Yet all is not lost as her newfound position offers more than she could have hoped for.... With critical intelligence at her fingertips, Susie seizes a dangerous opportunity to help the Resistance.

The decisions she makes could change the course of the war, but what will they mean for her family and her future?

"An original and innovative take on the World War II genre that captures the hauntingly desperate essence of the war. Tania Blanchard has written yet another spectacular novel. Don’t miss this." (Better Reading)

This was a beautiful but heart wrenching story based on true lives. I knew much about the unbelievably cruel treatment of the Jewish people and still find it difficult to think about, but what I did not know was the Russian invasion of Berlin after the war and how peoples properties were simply “taken”. I will not say too much about the story concerning Susie and Leo so as not to spoil it for others.
Incredibly poignant story, thank you Tanya.

Brilliantly written and unbearably heartbreaking

I really enjoyed this book. It was recommend to me by my 14 year old daughter. Great love story with the over lapping WW2 backdrop.

Great story

It was great to read such a detailed and well plotted WW2 story. I thought this era had faded from in-demand fiction but it seems to be making a revival. This story is, in my opinion, ripe for a film or TV series

Well plotted

Great read.

At times excruciating yet mostly positive window into the triumph of the human spirit, inspired buy deeply held values,love courage and decency over fear greed ignorance and cowardice.

Hard to be with but difficult to put down

Fascinating read!

Great narrative from a perspective I’ve never considered previously, the Germans who didn’t agree with the Nazi regime and how they also suffered and lived in fear under Hitler’s rule. Some harrowing events that really put out modern day lives in perspective, and great relationship themes of family and love throughout. Highly recommended for those who enjoy historical fiction

Great perspective of the victims and unsung heroes from the “enemy’s” side
