Summary

Approaching 80, frail and alone, a remarkable man makes the journey from his sheltered home in England to Berlin to meet his granddaughter. He has six days left to live and must relate his life story before he dies....

His life has been rich and full. He has witnessed firsthand the rise of the Nazis, experienced heartrending family tragedy, fought in the German army, been interred in a POW camp in Scotland and faced violent persecution in peacetime Britain. But he has also touched many lives, fallen deeply in love, raised a family and survived triumphantly at the limits of human endurance.

He carries within him an astonishing family secret that he must share before he dies...a story that will mean someone else’s salvation. Welcome to the moving, heartwarming and uncommon life of Alfred Warner.

A fabulous story

The audiobook took a bit of getting used to, but the story makes the effort worthwhile. An epic saga covering the life of one German man who lived through the Second World War. Beautifully written and well observed. I will be seeking out other books by this writer.
