A review by amandawillimott
The Beast's Garden by Kate Forsyth
4.0
Set in Berlin during World World II, a young German woman, Ava, marries a Nazi, Leo, and both work separately as well as together to bring down Hitler and the Third Reich.
As romantic historical fiction this is one of the best I've read. The fictional Ava and Leo, as well as Ava's Jewish friends, fit seamlessly into the lives and actions of real people.
There are very few light moments in this story as all the horrors of war come to fall onto our two unfortunate lovers. The story is also taken up in parts by other characters in the story, who you come to care for as much as you do Ava and Leo.
