City of Women by David R. Gillham

5.0

The year is 1943 and in Berlin it is a city of women. The men are at war started by a crazy man and fueled with hatred. They are ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances and what they do is amazing. The author has you questioning yourself, What would I do if it were me watching people marching away to their death only because they were Jewish? What would I do if I walked into someone's home and they were hiding Jews? At what point does one arrive at a moral commitment? These are the questions that I asked myself while reading this book. A 5 star book for me not only is an entertaining and well written read, but it is a book that keeps me thinking long after the last page has been read. David Gillham has provided a book that accomplishes all of those things.
