The Porcelain Maker by Sarah Freethy
4.0
The Porcelain Maker is a heartbreaking dual timeline novel set in both World War II era Germany and in the U.S., 1994. In Germany, Bettina is a German artist and Max is a Jewish architecture student. They fall in love, but with the rise of the Nazi party, their relationship and very lives are threatened. Max ends up in the Dachau concentration camp and is forced to work in the Allach Porcelain factory run by the S.S. In 1994, Clara is trying to find out the name of her father and is searching for clues, including special porcelain pieces made at the Allach porcelain factory.
The story is so sad throughout, and is a more realistic look at WWII Germany. Anyone looking for a completely happy ending will not find one, but that makes this version a bit truer than some of the other WWII fiction out there. The audiobook is well narrated by Kristin Atherton.
Readers of WWII fiction will appreciate this look into the sad history of the very real Allach Porzellanmanufaktur.
I received a free copy of this audiobook from St. Martin's Press. My review is voluntary and the opinions expressed are my own.
