aadg808 's review for:
The German Wife
by Kelly Rimmer
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review!
This is another heart wrenching tale by Kelly Rimmer set during WWII. In 1930 Germany, Sofie and Jürgen are struggling under the burgeoning Nazi regime. In order to not go completely bankrupt and lose their home, Jürgen must take a job developing rockets for the Nazi’s but both seriously oppose their ideals and the entire regime.
In 1930s Texas, Lizzie and her family are coping with the hardships of the Dust Bowl. The two stories converge in the 1950s in Huntsville, Alabama after Lizzie’s husband’s job brings them there, and Jürgen has been taken from post WWII Germany to work on a secretive US rocket program.
I found the book slow to start but the story picks up and you learn how each family made it through WWII and what they had to do to survive. Another well researched and beautifully written book by Kelly Rimmer!
