About this listen

To save their lives, she must put hers on the line.

Berlin, 1939

As war breaks out across Europe, Clara, an English woman married to a German officer, suddenly finds herself unwelcome in Berlin, the city she calls home. Her skills as a midwife are no longer required by the hospital she works at, and as she is turned away, so is a pregnant Jewish woman who needs help. Clara is determined to do her job and provide care for all, so helps the woman deliver her baby.

Word spreads around the Jewish community of the Angel of Life, and Clara suddenly finds herself right at the centre of a very special kind of resistance, bringing life into the world in the midst of war.

But as the war intensifies, so does the danger surrounding Clara and the people she loves most. Jewish families are being taken from their homes and Clara is desperate to help save them. But will it be at the expense of her own life?©2026 Suzanne Fortin (P)2026 Bonnier Books UK
