My Dearest Dietrich: A Novel of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Lost Love by Amanda Barratt

5.0

My Dearest Dietrich was absolutely beautiful. I was already familiar with Dietrich Bonhoeffer's story, but I had no idea he had such a wonderful and tragic love story. It was incredible to see how their lives were intertwined.

Beautifully written with robust characters, I thoroughly enjoyed it as a reading experience. It was also a really interesting take on WWII, from the perspective of Germans living under Hitler's dictatorship.

Captivating and heartwrenching, My Dearest Dietrich was one of the best books of 2019.
