My Dearest Dietrich: A Novel of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Lost Love by Amanda Barratt
3.0
Book #166 of 2019. This is a historical fiction that tells the real-life story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s romance and engagement, as well as his arrest and time in prison. The author, other than fictionalizing the story has taken very few liberties with the historical account, making this a pleasant and educational read.
At times, I felt that Barratt’s concentration on Bonhoeffer as a primary narrative made him a little effeminate and preachy, but he was a pastor and a theologian, so what else should I expect?
