La storia di una donna ribelle e appassionata che, insieme alle sue amiche, combatté il regime di Hitler in una lotta clandestina.

Just started this book and feel an eerie similarity to our current situation in the United States as the unthinkable builds in 1930's Germany. Well written if not fast paced. The slow pace of the book provides a sense of the unthinkable unfolding and reminds the reader of how glacial change can be d Leggi tutto

Favorite Quotes: Darling, you must never become accustomed to the extraordinary and the outrageous. If you do, little by little you’ll learn to accept anything. Scapegoating Jews – or Communists, Poles, women, immigrants – was the refuge of the lazy, envious, and unimaginative. It made the world an ug Leggi tutto
Another historical fiction novel about WWII. I’m sorry, but this was a struggle from about 20% in until the end. The author seemed to lose touch with her characters and only slightly used them to give a TON of facts about the war in Berlin. So glad I finished but really wish I had never bothered to Leggi tutto
