About this listen

 Germany, 1943. The choices she makes will change her life forever. Growing up in Hitler’s Germany, Charlotte von Klein has big dreams for the future. Her mind is full of plans for a sumptuous wedding to her childhood sweetheart Heinrich while working for the Luftwaffe, proudly giving her all for the Fatherland. But in 1943, the tide of the war is turning against Germany, and Lotte’s life of privilege and comfort begins to collapse around her. As Hitler’s Reich abandons Germany and the country falls to the Allied forces, Lotte is forced to flee from the unfolding chaos to the country with the darkly attractive Erich Drescher, her Luftwaffe superior. Amid the danger, pain and heartbreak of a country turning on itself, Lotte must forge a new life for herself. But as the country struggles to find its future, shadows of the past come rushing back and Lotte finds herself questioning everything she has fought for – love, duty and freedom.©2017 Tania Blanchard (P)2018 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Coming of Age Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Heartfelt War

It took me two tries to get into this book because the start is a bit slow, but once you get into it, it’s a great read. I ended up listening to the whole thing over 3 days which is unusual for me, but I just couldn’t put it down!

Captivating!

One of the best stories I have read from world war II times all the way through rebuilding a life after from civilians' view points . It truly gets your heart beat going all the way through the book.
The best part: the narrator. such a beautiful soothing and down to earth voice. The perfect voice to tell this story.
The author chose the perfect words to remind us what Kindness, Resilience, Love and Passion truly are.

Beautiful and poignant story

I can't say this book was a favourite but it was most informative regarding the situation of the German people after the Second World War. Makes you realise that most of the everyday people were as brainwashed by Hitler as were the soldiers.

An informative book.

A very different angle from the German perspective. Still had to be alert all the time. Thank goodness I didn’t have to live through this nightmare. Nobody was safe. Very well written.

The German perspective of believers of Hitler totally misled.

The love story a little predictable- she me may say a little “Hollywood “ however reading WW2 from the perspective of the average German citizen was quite an eye opener for me and rather interesting - in terms of language and grammar it is beautifully written and superbly narrated.
I will read another by this author.

Beautifully written
