My Dearest Dietrich: A Novel of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Lost Love by Amanda Barratt

3.0

I hesitated over this rating. The life of Bonhoeffer is a 5+ and his romance with Maria a beautiful story. However, when the author admits that she added episodes that didn’t exist, it almost trivializes the true story. The writing style was somewhat stilted and didn’t flow with the story. I’m glad that I read it; I was unfamiliar with this part of Bonhoeffer's life, but I thought the writing left much to be desired.
