The Berlin Girl by Mandy Robotham

5.0

Georgie Young is a British woman being sent to be a foreign correspondent in Berlin in 1938. Not only does her new posting involve breaking in to the good old boys club of male journalists it involves learning how to survive in pre WW2 Berlin. Constantly looking over her shoulder, trying to convince the English people of the horrors that she is seeing in Germany when they are vocal about not really wanting to know, and worrying about her Jewish friend and his family create an experience that is very high stress. Add to that the fact that Georgie attempts to date a Nazi officer to get information. This book is a beautifully done glimpse in to a changing Berlin, and is one of the best historic fictions set in this era that I've had the pleasure to read.
