This is my 3rd historical fiction from Rimmer and they seem to follow the same flow - the first third is fast and engaging, second is way slow, third is a bit quicker than the second until there’s a decent finish. I loved the characters and the dual storylines, though I wish the timelines were synced between the 2 main characters through the book. 

I appreciated the perspective of the German wife as a lesson of what not to do when fascism attempts to take over a democratic society, which is timely for the US at the moment.
