The German Wife by Kelly Rimmer
5.0
When the Nazi party is voted in power in Germany, Sofie von Mueller Rhodes and her husband, Jurgen, are not in alignment with the parties beliefs. But as the party gains more power, and desires Jurgen’s skills as a scientist, the husband and wife are forced to make very challenging decisions.
Across the pond, Lizzie is also facing her own challenges and decisions, as the drought and dustbowl continue to ravage the US,
Twenty years later, Sofie and Lizzie’s lives connect, as Sofie is brought to America to be with her husband and now has to acclimate to her new world, and new neighbors, who are not quite welcoming.
Kelly Rimmer has taken two very different worlds, Nazi Germany and the American Dustbowl, added in World War 2 and rocket science to create a seamless dual timeline, dual POV story that is both heart-wrenching and uplifting. The author dives deep into the these two women, the challenges they are faced with and the decisions they make. Despite the complex book structure, the writing is clear and engaging and the author uses the structure expertly to convey the paths these two woman take. This is a book that will be thinking about for awhile.
