As most historical novels about the WW2 area do, this book is emotionally hard to read at some times, since it does have a lot of real life background. Not as common but this book focuses on 3 German woman who in each own way see something wrong happening around them but chose to act differently about it - and I honestly can’t say I didn’t like any of them in some or other way. Also what I feel is another uncommon point is that this timeline mostly is focused on before the start of the war and Poland invasion which for me, at least gave a slight another view into that period.

Written beautifully and showcasing a side of Nazi Germany that is rarely talked about. She interconnects the lives of three women, all with various views on the Reich, highlighting how vastly different opinions could be. She backed up her story with tons of research and made the story plausible and a great read!
