Summary

All her life, Hannah Sterling longed for a close relationship with her estranged mother. Following Lieselotte's death, Hannah determines to unlock the secrets of her mother's mysterious past and is shocked to discover a grandfather living in Germany. Thirty years earlier, Lieselotte's father is quickly ascending the ranks of the Nazi party, and a proper marriage for his daughter could help advance his career.

Lieselotte is in love - but her beloved Lukas is far from an ideal match, as he secretly works against the Reich. Yet Lieselotte never imagined how far her father would go to ensure her cooperation. Both Hannah's and Lieselotte's stories unfold as Hannah travels to Germany to meet her grandfather, who is hiding wartime secrets of his own.

Longing for connection yet shaken by all she uncovers, Hannah must decide if she can atone for her family's tragic past and how their legacy will shape her future.

last chapter

The last chapter was jarring for me. Sounded too much of a lecture on the ‘benefits’ of religion. For me this spoiled the book but up to that I enjoyed the story

Excellent war story

Loved the way it went from 1973 to the war years - gave an excellent though heartbreaking description of the war years and life in Berlin in 1973 - found the American voice annoying at times

Sins of our parents

Brilliant story - a very interesting perspective of living in Germany during WW2. Couldn’t stop listening.
