The American Wife by Chrystyna Lucyk-Berger
4.0

This is the first book the The Diplomat's Wife series. Such a great historical fiction read, and loved the setting of Vienna. Having been there a few times, I always enjoy coming back to places through books. Well written and compelling, kept my attention, and I really liked the character of Kitty. I love a great strong female character, particularly with bravery and courage during WWII, and we see her struggles with saving the life of a Jewish friend vs betraying her husband and risking the wrath of the Nazis. For anyone who is a WWII historical fiction fan, this is one to check out! Thanks so much to Chrystyna Lucyk-Berger, the publisher, and NeGalley for the opportunity to review this e-arc.
