Sinossi
Un'autrice bestseller di USA Today
Germania, 1944. Prelevata dal campo di concentramento in cui era prigioniera, Anke Hoff non ha idea del destino che la attende. Quando le viene ordinato di assistere, come ostetrica, qualcuno molto vicino a Hitler è costretta ad accettare: in caso contrario tutta la sua famiglia verrebbe uccisa. Nonostante l’odio per il regime che ha perseguitato lei e i suoi cari, Anke dovrà fare del suo meglio per prendersi cura della misteriosa donna e del bambino che porta in grembo, la cui vita è legata a doppio filo alla sua. Ma nel rifugio di Berghof, la residenza segreta del Führer tra le Alpi bavaresi, niente è come sembra. Molte delle persone lì presenti, infatti, sono sottoposte allo stesso ricatto di Anke. E affezionarsi a uno di loro potrebbe complicare ancora di più le cose, mettendola davanti a una scelta impossibile da compiere. L’amore può sopravvivere agli orrori di una guerra?
Quando Anke Hoff è condotta sotto ricatto nella residenza segreta di Adolf Hitler non immagina quale destino la attenda…

This was a really good book. It was a quick read as the chapters were very short and I found I couldn’t put it down.
